Heth Wharton (April 18, 1892 – October 28, 1958) was an American architect.[1] He grew up in Virginia, and he was a draughtsman for Hunt & Chambers.[2] With architect Ralph A. Vaughn, he designed Chase Knolls Apartments in Sherman Oaks and Lincoln Place in Venice.[3]
Wharton was involved in a legal dispute with film director John Cromwell and actress Kay Johnson when he tried to overcharge them for a house he designed for them in 1934; the couple won the lawsuit.[4][5]
