ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE (Describe important architectural features and <br /> evaluate in terms of other buildings within the community.) <br /> Part of a community of contemporary homes designed and developed by an architectual <br /> firm, this house is an example of the International Style and has exterior finishes <br /> similar to the others in the development (see Moon Hill area form) . The original house <br /> was, however, one of the smallest in the neighborhood, for it was designed for a working <br /> - couple without children. In order to take maximum advantage of the spectacular view, <br /> the upper level was a single space, divided by the fireplace and storacre °units into <br /> living, dining, kitchen, and study areas. A roofed porch extended out from the central <br /> part of the living area and had a glass skylight at the junction of the porch and main <br /> roofs. Bedrooms, lighted by above-grade windows, were on a lower level. <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, built in 1948, was designed by Robert McMillan, one of the original <br /> members of The Architects Collaborative (TAC) , as his own residence (see Moon Hill <br /> area form) . <br /> BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES (name of publication, author, date and publisher) <br /> Architectural Forum, June 1950, pp. 114-115. <br /> L'architecture d'aujourd'hui 28, Feburary 1950, pp. 39, 111. <br /> Gropius, Walter et al. , editors. 1966.
