QUINTESSENTIAL CLAREMONT VILLAGE HOME WITH ART STUDIO. Welcome to “The Herman House”, a beautifully preserved 1911 California Craftsman style bungalow nestled in the heart of historic Claremont. Originally built by H.A. Dorsey, a skilled carpenter and Claremont’s former fire chief, this home stands out as his finest work, with elegant proportions and distinctive architectural detailing. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be captivated by the home’s curb appeal: narrow clapboard siding, wide window casings, a striking double-gabled roof, and classic bungalow features like exposed rafters and deep overhangs. Two majestic deodar cedar trees frame the path to the front door, setting the tone for the timeless charm that continues inside. This home also carries deep historical significance. It was once the residence of Ralph Lyman, Pomona College’s Professor of Music from 1917 to 1948 and the director of its renowned Glee Clubs. Lyman himself built the unique fieldstone fireplace in the backyard, complete with a whimsical musical scale and the cryptic note “B natural.” The backyard also features a detached studio complete with bathroom and vaulted ceilings. Later owners have lovingly maintained and enhanced the property. A thoughtfully designed studio-loft and completely restored kitchen was added — both by award-winning design/build firm Hartman-Baldwin. As a preservationist and former President of Claremont Heritage, Dr. Herman even repurposed salvaged wood from Pomona College’s historic Harwood Dining Hall, integrating it into the addition’s flooring. Carol Baber Herman, a musician and actress with Claremont roots, brought her own creative spirit to the home. Enjoy the deep large over 1/4 acre lot filled with majestic tall shade trees. This is more than a house, it's a story, a piece of Claremont’s cultural and architectural legacy. Thoughtfully updated while retaining its original character, 357 W. 10th Street offers a rare opportunity to own a truly special home in one of Southern California’s most beloved college towns.
