Built in 1939, this unique two-story home is based on the “form follows function” concept with living areas in one wing and service areas in another. Its Y-shaped floor plan allows increased exposure of its rooms to exterior light and ventilation. The house has a flat roof, cement walls and aluminum windows, flashings, cornices and expansion joints. Designed by Fitzhugh Scott for industrial designer Brook Stevens, the style is indicative of the Art Deco architecture popular at the time of its construction.
