The district encompasses 21 contributing buildings and 1 contributing structure. The district is composed entirely of early 20th century residences, the majority of which are Colonial Revival and Tudor Revivalstyle. They were built between about 1915 and 1930, and feature sloping roofs, parapet walls, and wooden brackets and moldings.[2] The residential development was designed and built by architect Richard Mortimer Bates, Jr. The Mortimer Place Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.[1] ArchitectRichard Mortimer Bates, Jr. (1887-1948) was born in Birmingham, Alabama and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Architecture in 1911. The University of Pennsylvania, School of Architecture was established on October 7, 1890 and was a leading architectural school in the United States wielding significant influence under a Beaux Arts curriculum established first by the Ecole des Beaux Arts [3] in Paris. Upon graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, Bates obtained a competitive appointment to the Ecole Nationale et Speciale des Beaux Arts and studied in the atelier of M. Bernier. The Ecole des Beaux was considered the "finest school of architecture in the world."[4] While in Europe, Bates took a Grand Tour, further educating himself on Greek, Roman, Italian Renaissance and Baroque architectural elements. These architectural elements undoubtedly influenced Bates, as he laid out the plot plan for Mortimer Place, with its efficient use of space, common areas and wide-ranging architectural styles. Richard M. Bates, Jr. relocated to California and later designed the Westlake Theater, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. The Westlake Theater was designed in the Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival Style with Churrigueresque detailing on the exterior and Renaissance and Adamesque references on the interior. Bates through his early professional training worked for many notable architectural firms of the early 20th Century including, Whidden and Lewis, Albert E. Doyle, Charles A. Platt, James Gamble Rogers, George P. Post, Arnold Brunner, Cope and Stewardson and Benjamin R. Stevens.
