Property of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur van Horn | Architects: Sherwood, Mills & Smith

To take full advantage of a far view of rolling hills, this jaunty little house was built 8 feet up in the air; and to tie it solidly to the ground, carport walls were built of native fieldstone, like the old dry stone walls of surrounding countryside. Glass window-walls open living room to view on two sides; and a broad sun-deck extends beyond, on south side. Roof has top surface of white gravel to reflect heat of sun's rays, and broad overhangs to shade house from high summer sun; surrounding trees also keep house cool. Walls are mahogany, stained natural.
