"This house for a single person, which Wright designated a 'mountain cottage,' is compacted into two stories around a central chimney flue. It is of desert rubblestone wall with some horizontal wood sheathing, notably in the bedroom balcony. It looks north, away from the desert sun."
—William Allin Storrer. The Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright: A Complete Catalog. project 361.
1,413 square foot home designed for a single person, with separate servant's and chauffeur's quarters. The compact two story house has a equilateral parallelogram footprint and is built around a central chimney flue. Frank Lloyd Wright described his design, which is virtually identical to the home he did for George Clark on the Carmel seaside in 1951, as a ”mountain cottage“. It is constructed with desert rubblestone walls and horizontal wood sheathing especially evident in the bedroom balcony.”
