About Newton T. Bass House
The Newton T. Bass House, known colloquially as "Hilltop House," was a private residence in Apple Valley, California built in 1959 for Newton Thornberry Bass and designed by Mexican architect Francisco Artigas. The house, which the owner never occupied, was built atop Miner's Hill adjacent to the Apple Valley Inn that Bass had opened in 1948. The hilltop location provided panoramic views of the Victor Valley and symbolized Bass's preeminent status in the town. In January 1967, the home was wrecked in a fire started during a robbery. Subsequently, in April 1968, reconstruction began following plans by Leslie E. Arthur, and the house was converted into a board room for the Reserve Oil and Gas Company, of which Bass was chairman of the board.
