A perfect example of Mid-Century California Modern, the home dubbed "The Ophelia House" was designed by Fickett in 1959. Sophisticated, bright and airy, it's been meticulously restored in keeping with the home's original minimalism. Fickett's imprint on California is everywhere. He is credited with designing more than 60,000 post-war homes along with the Dodger Stadium Bar & Grille, and buildings including Spago Restaurant, La Costa Resort, Edwards Air Force Base, the Naval Air Station at Los Alamitos, Murphy Canyon Heights Naval Base, La Jolla Fashion Center, the Bistro Gardens , Scandia Restaurant, Nick's Fish Market Restaurant, the Port of Los Angeles Los Angeles Harbor, Passenger and Cargo Terminals, the historic renovation of the Los Angeles City Hall Tower , the new extension of the Nethercutt Antique Car Museum, the Los Angeles Police Academy, Ocotillo Lodge, Hotel Palm Springs, and Mammoth Mountain Inn, according to the Los Angeles Historic Resources Inventory.
