Architect Henry F. Withey designed the Mediterranean Revival style house for Samuel Beckman in 1925. The home is currently (December 2011) the residence of Egyptologist- archaeologist Bruce Ludwig. A recent (July 30, 1989) article in the Los Angeles Times in referring to Ludwig, "You think Indiana Jones lived dangerously? Consider Bruce Ludwig, Los Angeles real-estate tycoon and sometime raider of lost arks. A recent exploit featured the beefy, 6-foot-4 businessman slithering on his belly--undaunted by bats, rats, scorpions and snakes--through an Egyptian cave so blocked by centuries of silt that only a few airless inches were left between ceiling and floor. "No question, it was traumatic," he recalls. "If you were claustrophobic, you'd never make it through." But Ludwig's fearsome trial paid off. In the company of archaeologist Kent R. Weeks, he emerged from the uncharted cave into an intoxicating room--one unseen by humans for roughly 3,500 years." The house is located at 128 North June Street in Hancock Park, one of the most affluent and historic neighborhoods in Los Angeles. It was developed by the Hancock family beginning in the 1920s from profits realized from drilling oil in the former Rancho La Brea..
