A little more digging on Edward Trinkeller reveals that he was born in Germany in January of 1873 and came to the US in about 1890. It also reveals that he did some ironwork for William Randolph Hearst for Hearst Castle, collaborating on the designs with architect Julia Morgan. He also did work for Edward Doheny, Will Rogers and Cecil B. DeMille among others
Home addresses that can be located for Edward Trinkkeller are 1820 Westmoreland Blvd, where he lived in 1922, 203 S. McCadden Place, where he is found in the census in 1930 and 208 S. Highland in 1936. All of these houses are still there and Westmoreland and McCadden have decorative ironwork. The house where he boarded in 1901 is also still there, and while there is ironwork there, it is of a much newer style.
His declaration of intention to become a US Citizen is dated 1903. He appears in a naturalization index in that year as well when he was living in Los Angeles. He became a US citizen in April of 1906.
