Where does the term "California Roof" come from (historically)?

Because this term is (a) architectural and (b) territorial,
the answer will be found only in Californian architectural
sources.

People in California wouldn't be the ones to refer to it that way. All
over the country people sell "New York Bagels" - except in NY where
they just sell bagels.
