ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE (Describe important architectural features and <br /> evaluate in terms of other buildings within the community.) <br /> With its two long, low, flat-roofed wings accentuated by horizontal bands of <br /> windows and with the smooth exterior surfaces, this house is a good example of the <br /> International Style. Part of a community of contemporary homes designed and <br /> developed by Walter Gropius° architectural firm, this house nonetheless owes more <br /> of its influence to Breur than to Gropius (according to designing architect Richard <br /> Morehouse) and is thus differentiated from most other houses in the neighborhood <br /> (see Moon Hill area form) . There is, for example, no overhanging eave on this <br /> house in contrast to the others in the development. <br /> HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE (Explain the role owners played in local or state <br /> history and how the building relates to the development of the community.) <br /> This house was designed by Richard S. Morehouse, an architect formerly a <br /> member of The Architects Collaborative (TAC) , the firm that developed Moon Hill <br /> (see Moon Hill area form) . <br /> BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES (name of publication, author, date and publisher) <br /> 10M - 7/82 <br />
