Flanked by other "mod" houses, this was originally a section of model show houses. Roman brick exterior and the long wing wall to the right.
Originally a show house for the GHBA Parade of Homes show in 1956, this architectural gem was also on the 2016 neighborhood home tour & featured in an article on "time capsule" mid-mods.
