Muir was born in 1906, in San Francisco, California. Her father was Joseph Muir, a throat surgeon and diplomat; and her mother Ethel Fitch Muir was an operatic soprano, the granddaughter of politician Thomas Fitch.〔(Robert Alter, "Los Angeles Likes the Ellis Club's Patriotic Concert," ''Pacific Coast Musical Review'' 33(February 14, 1918): 5. )〕〔("Seventh Night of Wagner," ''New York Times'' (August 18, 1911). )〕 Her unusual first name is from her father's earlier wife, Edla Coleman McPherson, who died in 1901.〔("Joseph Muir, M. D.," ) in ''New York State's Prominent and Progressive Men: An Encyclopaedia of Contemporary Biography'' (New York Tribune 1902).〕〔("Death of Mrs. Edla Muir; Daughter of Senator McPherson Was Here to Contest Mother's Will," ''New York Times'' (December 31, 1901). )〕 Edla Muir’s parents divorced in 1916.〔(”S. F. Beauty Plans Suit for Divorce: Mrs. Ethel Muir,” ‘’San Francisco Chronicle''(May 21, 1916): 24. )〕
As a schoolgirl, she worked weekends and summers for a Santa Monica-based architect, John Byers. She graduated from Inglewood High School in 1923, and then began working full-time in Byers' office.〔(Sarah Allaback, ed., ''The First American Women Architects'' (University of Illinois Press 2008): 156-158. ) ISBN 0252033213〕 In 1927, she won a cash prize for her designs, from the Rondith Corporation.〔("Four Win Money in Designing: Prizes Totalling $1850 to be Awarded Today by Corporation," ''Los Angeles Times'' (May 8, 1927): E3 ), notes "Special interest is attached to the fact that the winner of the second prize, Miss Edna Muir, is a girl who has established a precedent by being named among the first three."〕
