Yesterday we featured a remarkable mid-century building that Frederick Dunn helped design. Today I am featuring one of my favorite houses in Ladue that Frederick Dunn designed. Built in 1961, this house reminds me of an Italian pavilion house reminiscent of Pompeii.
I have driven past this building for years and always admired it, though never stopped by to say hello. Yesterday I drove past...stopped and turned around to find out more.
This fine building was designed by Frederick Dunn and Nolan Stinson, Jr. in 1959.
The granite grill sculpture was designed by William Talbot and originally was part of a fountain. Vandals caused some problems and it was turned into a planter. I think they should consider turning it into a fountain again.
