I found these photos of the Greene and Greene-designed C. W. Hollister home in the October 1906
Architectural Record:
The front

The courtyard (the house was shaped like a U)

The article only said the house was in Hollywood, so I decided to figure out where.
The 1911 LA City Directory got me in the right neighborhood:
fold3.com
But that address must have changed, because I found the house on the 1907 and 1913 Hollywood Sanborn
Maps just south of Yucca on Cahuenga. This is 1913; the addresses from the 1907 map are underneath
the 1913 addresses. If the Hollister home was at 243 N. Cahuenga, it should have been in the next block
north, but it wasn't:
LAPL
Next, I discovered that ownership of the house had obviously changed by 1913. Perhaps the bedrooms and bath
were built across the back of the courtyard?:

Here are the Storers in the 1914 LA City Directory. Andrea is the mom and Juan the father. Not listed is Victor,
a student at Hollywood High:

Then I found this article about the family taking the house apart and shipping it to Edmonton, Alberta:
August 21, 1917
LA Times @ LAPL
It was at this point further googling led me to discover that the story of the home and the Storers had been told
by Steve Vaught in the April 22, 2015, issue of
Los Angeles Magazine: http://www.lamag.com/longform/mobile-home/
The article has other photos of the house, which the Storers moved again in Canada. One room of the house,
the original master bedroom, has survived.
This is not that room, but the Provincial Archives of Alberta has this c. 1960s color slide of one of the rooms
in the Storer home:
