3 Sappington Spur, Architect: Harris Armstrong, Interior

This special 1930's international-styled house was designed by the famous Harris Armstrong.  He lived in this house and developed an enclave of modernist homes in his cul-de-sac. Make sure that you look at yesterday's post for pics of the outside.  Also check the Harris Armstrong link on the left column of this blog to see more of his great designs.

ps . . . It might be helpful if you had a "search box" located on your blog to make it easier to go back to find old entries. I find myself remembering one or another of them, then struggling to find them in your archives. Here's one possible way:

I'm not sure I would call this house "internationally styled". While it has some features in common with International Style architecture, I don't think it really fits that category.

The main two-story block of the house is wrapped with white stucco and the windows on the street facade where designed to appear to wrap around the corners, in actuality they do not. The glazing at the corner of the garage (with a flat roof) set in white stucco suggests an inspiration in the International Style, but Armstrong subverts that linkage immediately by inserting the heavily rusticated stone masonry section between the garage the home itself.
