The Holmes-Shannon House is a 1911 Craftsman home with Tudor influences in the Victoria Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, designed by Robert Farquhar Train and Robert Edmund Williams. Los Angeles's Cultural Heritage Commission calls it "a residential building designed in the Tudor-Craftsman style by a prominent firm and reflective of the development of Victoria Park," and it joined the National Register of Historic Places in March 2008.

Built in 1911, the house blends Craftsman construction with Tudor detailing — the hybrid the city's Cultural Heritage Commission cited when it named the house a Historic-Cultural Monument.
