PEOPLE AND IDEAS HERE
The Human Network Behind the Address
The address no longer resolves cleanly; evidence aligns it with the Arturo Bandini House area, whose original Greene & Greene building was demolished in the 1960s.
Thomas Hunt Morgan
1866–1945
resident · Approximately 1928–1945
Morgan lived here while building Caltech biology and the chromosome theory tradition.
Lilian Vaughan Morgan
1870–1952
resident · Morgan household years
A published geneticist in her own right, Lilian shared the scientific household.
resident · Documented 1950s residence
Beadle later lived at the same address during his Caltech leadership.
Interaction circle
• Morgan’s school connects to Beadle, Delbrück, Horowitz, Edward B. Lewis, and Barbara McClintock.
• Genetics work here must not be conflated with Robert Millikan’s separate eugenics activity.

INTERPRETATION · IDEA NETWORK
Few domestic sites express scientific lineage so clearly: chromosome genetics and biochemical genetics occupied the same address across generations.
