The Dunker House is a historic house in Palo Alto, California. It was built in 1926 for John Dunker and his wife, who were "prominent Palo Alto citizens."[2] The house was designed by architect Birge M. Clark in the Spanish Colonial Revival style.[2] It was "one of the first two houses" to be designed in this style in Palo Alto.[2] The Dunkers hired Leslie Kiler, a relative, to design the grounds.[2] The property has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since February 19, 1982.[1]
