Had no idea there was a Neutra house in DC! I bet the folks who live there are going to be real thankful to PoP for all the architecture nerds lurking about in their yard now…

That said, sometimes it’s nice just to imagine….

If it were FLW or Eames inspired then you’d be describing their 30-40′s work. Mid Century period commonalities here would be later mainstream knockoffs to that president. Very cool to see this style in DC though. I’m from Arizona originally and it’s everywhere due to the retirement boom during that time frame.

Neutra (1892-1970). It was built in 1968, and he personally selected the lot for their International style house. The house is his last work, and the only example of his work in DC. Architect Heather Willson Cass designed the 1992 addition. We included this in our book Forest Hills (Marjorie Elfin, Paul Williams, and Forest Hills Neighborhood Alliance), Arcadia, 2006.

That seems to be the best candidate from Wikipedia’s disambiguation page.

Mies and Wright were the only architects each other were wanted to meet (and they met once). Both were a little weak on structural issues, and good at leaky roofs.
