Loring House, a Prairie School residence built in 1914 in Berkeley, California, was designed by architect John Hudson Thomas. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989 and designated a Berkeley Landmark that same year, the single-family home exemplifies the geometric forms and horizontal lines characteristic of the Prairie School movement. Also known as the William Lovering Locke House and the Ernest L. Loring House, it remains an important example of early twentieth-century residential architecture in the Bay Area.
