House

-A A +A
c. 1939. 525 Grand Ave., West Des Moines

The traditional single-story bungalow is rendered here in the thirties Moderne style. Again, as is the case in the Modernist house on Foster Drive ( CE187), this dwelling relies on a grouping of attached rectangular volumes, sheathed horizontally in wood. The usual hallmarks of the style are here: stucco walls, corner windows, and parapeted flat roofs.
