ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE (Describe important architectural features and <br /> evaluate in terms of other buildings within the community.) <br /> Part of a planned community of contemporary homes, this house is individually <br /> designed. Like its neighbors, it is an example of the International Style and has <br /> similar exterior finishes (see Moon Hill area form) . The original house had a large <br /> stone-floored entry that opened onto a terrace and could be converted into a breeze- <br /> way by folding glass doors. The dining table rolled in channels between the dining <br /> room and kitchen, serving as a counter in the kitchen when not in use as a dining <br /> table. The house featured spaces that could be converted to accommodate future <br /> family growth: the dining room into an easily-supervised playroom and an area on the <br /> lower level into another bedroom and bath. <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 in 1948 by The Architects Collaborative (TAC) for <br /> the Sills, one of the few non-academic families in Moon Hill (see Moon Hill area <br /> form) . <br /> BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES (name of publication, author, date and publisher) <br /> Architectural Forum, June 1950, p. 117. <br /> L'architecture d'aujourd'hui 28, February 1950, pp. 36, 110. <br /> 10M - 7/82 <br />
