One of the few examples of Dutch Colonial Revival in Fullerton, the Royer House, was designed for Max and Mildred Royer by Anaheim Master Architect M. Eugene Durfee (1885-1941) and constructed by notable local contractor George C. Pickering (1890-1977) in 1923. Durfee, a prominent Orange County architect, designed both the Chapman Building and the California Hotel (now Villa del Sol) in Fullerton, as well as many commercial buildings in downtown Anaheim that were unfortunately demolished during urban renewal in the 1980s. But the home was really the dream of Mildred Lovering Royer (1892-1976) who wanted to celebrate her Dutch ancestry.
