One of these days I have to find some photos of the house that Wallace Neff designed for himself in Pasadena. It was a round dome and inexpensive to build and his vision was to supply affordable housing around the world. Concrete over a huge balloon was the method of construction – remind me if you want to see it – these days I have a memory like a sieve.
Deco cast one hell of a shadow on our culture. This could just as easily be the 60s.
