The Heilman Villas complex was built for Robert and Lillian Heilman.[3] Later the complex was known as DeCoby Court and Hollander Court. In 1952, it became the Coromar Motel. In 1973, the City of Coronado bought the site; it was used by community groups such as the Chamber of Commerce and the Coronado Historical Association (CHA). The City renamed the complex again, this time to Babcock Court, in honor of City of Coronado founder Elisha S. Babcock.
Heilman Villas were placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992 as examples of 1920s bungalow court architecture in the Mission Revival style. The interiors contain Craftsman elements with hardwood floors and leaded glass.[4]
The Coronado Police Department is now located on the former site of the Heilman Villas.
