House

-A A +A
c. 1938. 1215 Des Moines St.

This is a perfect declaration of thirties' modernity: a Streamline Moderne box with an attached garage facing toward the street. The walls are pristine white stucco (with the appearance of concrete), the windows of metal; glass-brick windows appear around the entrance.
