1938. A stunning modernist home from South Bend, Indiana

 

It is a relief to know that when you move into your new concrete house, it won't be necessary to worry about repairs or exterior decoration for a long time. When a concrete house is carefully designed and constructed, it will give long years of service and ask very little in return. Even decorating is not often necessary if the exterior surface of the house is painted with cement paint, for the cement becomes an integral, permanent part of the concrete beneath it.
