We collected her remembrances in an oral history. She placed in our safekeeping numerous items including plans, drawings, etc. and also numerous photograhic slides. These pics are from about 1953 to 55(?), taken by Runnels of the homes built by Don Drummond. The design was published in House Beautiful, Life magazine and numerous design books and trade publications. There were 14 of these Revere Homes built by Drummond(featuring copper plumbing, guttering and flashings, insulation, etc. Don't forget your Mom's Revere Ware!) One was found to be built near Nall and in Lawrence by a different builder, we heard was from Topeka. There could be more of these gems scattered elsewhere...<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPME9rqnyR2-CmmCmTAL9ropigntzll0F4hrLBseIXVH7zJhyphenhyphenvZKjULW5zIKzG5kbEutaZGv0Za1x50ImPZO_eBF-E3RNpoVNrDtvJJvZgbx_XhoLj-ieSEgryGgwJcPOC57T2MhdsOg9N/s1600/Runnels+pics+004.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 277px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5717718888950862850" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPME9rqnyR2-CmmCmTAL9ropigntzll0F4hrLBseIXVH7zJhyphenhyphenvZKjULW5zIKzG5kbEutaZGv0Za1x50ImPZO_eBF-E3RNpoVNrDtvJJvZgbx_XhoLj-ieSEgryGgwJcPOC57T2MhdsOg9N/s400/Runnels+pics+004.jpg" /></a> The above shot is of Jerad (Studio/Build)and Jessica Foster's house when new.

Super News!We heard this afternoon that the Johnson County Commissioners approved a plan to purchase the old King Louie West site on Metcalf to provide for the first museum in the USA dedicated to Suburbia. Johnson County KS is a perfect example of housing and commerce growth after WWII, especially the glory days of the 1950's and 1960's. We salute the Commission's vision and throw our support to the Johnson County Museum, their great staff and the future of the past...<br />For images of King Louie West check out Manuel Morris on the right hand tabs.Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07954604154232255830noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7190478259079602798.post-37500677168010103192011-11-11T17:00:00.001-06:002011-11-11T17:00:03.468-06:00Carl Stenstrom- Architect A Private Residence<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkNHc_n6FtrAl8lZ-yLW7WsfKIBxgMRZlp8jfw-E-QshLIyG3m6fA4e7pOd0ieZkCBAx9cVI2regYxSsmPEJeBkN-Yi-6Cu72_Wp5-xJvVqFaz7bOduaYw0lvFinPiltTF0uKNGKDpipZ2/s1600-h/Stenstrom+Spong+Hs+005.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 276px" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395265667134546946" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkNHc_n6FtrAl8lZ-yLW7WsfKIBxgMRZlp8jfw-E-QshLIyG3m6fA4e7pOd0ieZkCBAx9cVI2regYxSsmPEJeBkN-Yi-6Cu72_Wp5-xJvVqFaz7bOduaYw0lvFinPiltTF0uKNGKDpipZ2/s400/Stenstrom+Spong+Hs+005.jpg" /></a> Located near Lake Quivira, this house sitting on twenty acres with a fabulous private lake has been under construction since 1985.

TIME FLIES!Hello KCModernists! Time definitely flies. We haven't posted for some time but we hope to get back in the groove with more regular postings that I hope you will find fun and interesting. Ever since the Country Club Plaza preservation challege this past year, it's be difficult to find time to Git-R-Done. We had a good year this year though alittle more quiet due to no house tour. Our plans for the next few months going into 2012 are exciting. We have numerous events lining up nicely, in addition to house tours, Martini Moderns, etc. So keep an eye out for notices and/or invitations to some happenings.<br /><br />On the local news last night was a very optimistic piece about King Louie West potentially converting to a "Suburban" Museum if the "deal" can be worked out. This would be the first in the nation to present the social discourse of suburbia. Salute and support goes out to the Johnson County Museum for this challenge. (For more info check out the label Manuel Morris, architect of King Louie West)<br /><br />My family moved this year from our wonderful Bob Wendt designed house in Prairie Village, KS to a new MCM house by Milburn Country Club. I'll get a post out with some pictures as soon as we get the scanner up and going!Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07954604154232255830noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7190478259079602798.post-41881016976832547162011-01-24T21:18:00.006-06:002011-01-24T21:38:28.082-06:00Kansas City Design Week - February 4-11 2011Please join <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">KCMODERN</span> in supporting Kansas City Design Week, February 4-11, 2011. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">KCMODERN</span> will be planning and executing four great tours featuring Kansas City Design on Saturday, February 5, 2011.

I decided to go west to Edmond, OK , about 12-15 miles and check out the Hopewell Baptist Church...built in 1948 with help from experienced welders from nearby oil fields.

I thought I would show some random photos of the Marcel Breuer designed house we had on tour recently. Built in 1954 and still owned by the original owner this is a fantastic time capsule of a house featuring original Breuer designed furniture as well as other iconic pieces.

Bob "loved a good gable" and this house is the ultimate example of that...a double gabled roof on the large public space and a gallery, low and private are for the bedrooms, walkout basement on the north side, with loads of light and a beautiful pool area with cabana.

In many ways it was an experimental house due to its unusual building components. We will be featuring some of these houses individually to show that Bob's work has merit and should be appreciated for his perfectionism in construction and design ability. A number of years ago I talked with Eugene Young, Architect and he told me a story about going to see Bob at his office behind the Westwood shops in the mid-sixties. He quoted Bob as saying "Architects don't like me because I'm not an Architect and Builders don't like me because I can design a good house and insure the quality of construction for an owner.</div><br /><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHXcDpDoItFQ53CEVKX-GGvPD8cRCj9lpGWtNKhlglMFuZaAXlRZ11Kx5dmBfANe21XmDAm34Zc10KbQ5ljJ1LH45NPEenKZLBg-OWut7NMUOXN_sH91wkRV_EvN1OlFFGqz4ETQMcnUhj/s1600/Pics+from+disk+277.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508013743100608146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHXcDpDoItFQ53CEVKX-GGvPD8cRCj9lpGWtNKhlglMFuZaAXlRZ11Kx5dmBfANe21XmDAm34Zc10KbQ5ljJ1LH45NPEenKZLBg-OWut7NMUOXN_sH91wkRV_EvN1OlFFGqz4ETQMcnUhj/s400/Pics+from+disk+277.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYiW_zNQOpF-o5sICbaELzZyH-t59J65jRwfF3YaCtAMMV646DnZDYOJPT5SAxd9dabPDLjq_bFLHD9WXJm_ZlN0SH5_7mCtd4dXaCi5rYfU5HqhuOd6kLkNJox9_m69tWeR92FWGcJgc7/s1600/Bob+Wendt+Houses+019.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 220px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508012252389513634" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYiW_zNQOpF-o5sICbaELzZyH-t59J65jRwfF3YaCtAMMV646DnZDYOJPT5SAxd9dabPDLjq_bFLHD9WXJm_ZlN0SH5_7mCtd4dXaCi5rYfU5HqhuOd6kLkNJox9_m69tWeR92FWGcJgc7/s400/Bob+Wendt+Houses+019.jpg" /></a> Photography by Bob Greenspan and Scott Lane</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07954604154232255830noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7190478259079602798.post-86258550229140561132010-08-20T23:00:00.000-05:002010-08-21T22:51:54.922-05:00Bob Wendt-House Designer/Builder-Part 1<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQwqiI5xNG8bNkt4MR3gVtcS3ihw8lw548UEffdmyO4KaodtfPIA4axyK-gaPdedNJvRpMxYglBvc_A_tLHajZJU_nNmm1aL85ijRtnCA5saEcPm8S-ptsc21pSBSgp3ueiH8jdJ4b4_JK/s1600/Bob+Wendt+Houses+001.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 194px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507990386789918914" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQwqiI5xNG8bNkt4MR3gVtcS3ihw8lw548UEffdmyO4KaodtfPIA4axyK-gaPdedNJvRpMxYglBvc_A_tLHajZJU_nNmm1aL85ijRtnCA5saEcPm8S-ptsc21pSBSgp3ueiH8jdJ4b4_JK/s400/Bob+Wendt+Houses+001.jpg" /></a> Robert Edward Wendt was born in Herington, Ks, 1924. After graduating high school he enlisted in the Army Air Corp in 1941 after bombing of Pearl Harbor. He served mostly on the island of Guam as the crew chief of a B-29 Bomber. When he returned from service he obtained his Architectural Engineering degree while working as Don Drummond's first foreman. While working with Don, Bob met Lloyd Roark, a prominent local architect. Roarke offered Bob the job of contractor and builder for a home he had on the drawing board. They worked on several jobs until Bob decided he wanted to design, draft and build from his own plans. His reputation and career evolved at that point. His brother Don a master carpenter came to work for him and did beautiful custom cabinet work. The house seen above and below was built for Dan Tyler in 1961.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgzwoYzBjiBHAZ8DBzGMYdoM9Wdr7FEBEXtM-DR-cN8pyB3EtQj-OXohOlLFeVkWWOrEFa_xlccfIvkwq2uCEU0emrImN_5qTVaaYphRU4O2XZAM__MNUk_jzCn7yQNfLeuYzbyqTGm-Ng/s1600/Bob+Wendt+Houses+002.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 224px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507987180072803234" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgzwoYzBjiBHAZ8DBzGMYdoM9Wdr7FEBEXtM-DR-cN8pyB3EtQj-OXohOlLFeVkWWOrEFa_xlccfIvkwq2uCEU0emrImN_5qTVaaYphRU4O2XZAM__MNUk_jzCn7yQNfLeuYzbyqTGm-Ng/s400/Bob+Wendt+Houses+002.jpg" /></a> Behind the stone walls that flank the entrance (below) are patios accessed from the bedrooms.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgved0kXyZ7CNTPvpyAI95akkucrw44uJA-itJDa1VZ_N7U0m4fEMqAIgecREhJ8DOytI2fp4V7NGFedAFGNJcaXWxVjGmBlZv_Q6tM1ZVxjbL9ppDYN5EEPi1ca_DtkLRBQfLivIvdbgAc/s1600/Bob+Wendt+Houses+003.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507984238114104946" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgved0kXyZ7CNTPvpyAI95akkucrw44uJA-itJDa1VZ_N7U0m4fEMqAIgecREhJ8DOytI2fp4V7NGFedAFGNJcaXWxVjGmBlZv_Q6tM1ZVxjbL9ppDYN5EEPi1ca_DtkLRBQfLivIvdbgAc/s400/Bob+Wendt+Houses+003.jpg" /></a> Long and low the house screams shelter and privacy...originally the large sliding glass doors opened to a large semi-circular aggregate patio.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmqqC1acMYUpM6rHPMTRUIvkSAuN3yq3ov3hSvYQ7iaVCkIt5p1npVSFhx4qR2GBd_pNdAQJqWqgyTxyrnQ3KOn1z-N_oKbhY7lcQIWkeRkkR9whp2qxB4TQPH3qu-lE8dT7tO1DLoC7wo/s1600/Pics+from+disk+347.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507982526491786626" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmqqC1acMYUpM6rHPMTRUIvkSAuN3yq3ov3hSvYQ7iaVCkIt5p1npVSFhx4qR2GBd_pNdAQJqWqgyTxyrnQ3KOn1z-N_oKbhY7lcQIWkeRkkR9whp2qxB4TQPH3qu-lE8dT7tO1DLoC7wo/s400/Pics+from+disk+347.jpg" /></a> Bob was never interested in building tract or speculative homes, only "Custom Built Homes for Owners" was what his signs and cards said.

These two contemporay homes are located on a private cul-de-sac in Prairie Village, Ks near 67th and Nall. Plans and photos were featured in various magazines and publications, Both houses sold before they were built. The one shown below was the home of Dean Graves, FAIA. The other house was purchased by Myra and Jim Morgan, former owners of the Morgan Gallery.

It featured a neighborhood tour and get together we had in 1991...it was the first effort to tour and promote the houses of Ninety-Eighth Place. It couldn't have been better when in 2005 we had a KCModern Tour of the neighborhood (the houses never looked better) and hosted our special guest, Don Drummond. I talked to him the other day and he said to tell everyone hello...he'll be 95 this October and still seems spunky on the phone. I apologize for the quality, the pages have seen a few storms...Click to enlarge the pages.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivzEb5BYOo1zne5DZBcJdJYu3xWHq-D1lDUFM88zmWeaOjP79vNSSP9eqLX1zdRJ2z1R5boMTGmOXnllJ_ed3TN19p8IbYcT47vbKmfh4FXgeM7GM_3LH7i_Tr11kPVcTcKUj6Dm8fdHRf/s1600/Homes+and+Gardens-+Drummond+Stroll2.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 292px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500545549515134354" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivzEb5BYOo1zne5DZBcJdJYu3xWHq-D1lDUFM88zmWeaOjP79vNSSP9eqLX1zdRJ2z1R5boMTGmOXnllJ_ed3TN19p8IbYcT47vbKmfh4FXgeM7GM_3LH7i_Tr11kPVcTcKUj6Dm8fdHRf/s400/Homes+and+Gardens-+Drummond+Stroll2.JPG" /></a> <div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGPMh7jubJXulYpc_DvElAAECYxBWXFbgd9d9dy8SzgjEUdHNmwwObz8RW9WDJK3a-TRIqp2AzzTt9QImvNZSId9JOyqcD19lvulGrfFJthrEtuqqpcR4tUWf3sxcnlPLzwIMdDDxCLtm4/s1600/Homes+and+Gardens-+Drummond+Stroll1.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 293px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500545273079923378" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGPMh7jubJXulYpc_DvElAAECYxBWXFbgd9d9dy8SzgjEUdHNmwwObz8RW9WDJK3a-TRIqp2AzzTt9QImvNZSId9JOyqcD19lvulGrfFJthrEtuqqpcR4tUWf3sxcnlPLzwIMdDDxCLtm4/s400/Homes+and+Gardens-+Drummond+Stroll1.JPG" /></a> <div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmITvCYh2VmzTiU9TIPLI4EJlc-MFZoe1egYgp5OeZlTccSEWblK8B-N3O4fxdjSYxVN_-kJIkgT2PJYGN44Aqbp8qTWYpiy9NRV3YODZrckxB_mdzNOkcGaGyz3Bffi57ClRw21nXEWQ6/s1600/Homes+and+Gardens-+Drummond+Stroll.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 298px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500544993549320050" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmITvCYh2VmzTiU9TIPLI4EJlc-MFZoe1egYgp5OeZlTccSEWblK8B-N3O4fxdjSYxVN_-kJIkgT2PJYGN44Aqbp8qTWYpiy9NRV3YODZrckxB_mdzNOkcGaGyz3Bffi57ClRw21nXEWQ6/s400/Homes+and+Gardens-+Drummond+Stroll.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQZUm5iC3Eh-IeTRd0qz7tE6bvVqxNQoEkRl3nzJZOXbUSGyqAlS1O37WnQptHzOjGv8LjUVcjo98pax6GLoaxXcxg3Degd-abVT5eJDImXyyPeA4oEccFDTaR3Sgqm4B2Bs06SnLdq0uy/s1600/Homes+and+Gardens-Drummond+Stroll.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 310px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500544683188090562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQZUm5iC3Eh-IeTRd0qz7tE6bvVqxNQoEkRl3nzJZOXbUSGyqAlS1O37WnQptHzOjGv8LjUVcjo98pax6GLoaxXcxg3Degd-abVT5eJDImXyyPeA4oEccFDTaR3Sgqm4B2Bs06SnLdq0uy/s400/Homes+and+Gardens-Drummond+Stroll.JPG" /></a> <div> </div></div></div></div></div>Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07954604154232255830noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7190478259079602798.post-10024661319036829672010-08-01T16:45:00.000-05:002010-08-01T16:45:00.288-05:00Perfect Home- Real Estate Brochures from the 1960's<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipI6cqjMFhC_fgJHYLvsfjyoIgYC4Ql9RKyOFmMsOEiqYis7elT7nmnA9eTRGuuptKbpcEcQ2jf5aXUcxfXFHlYzFAMDHtY77yiGUsAVy7Sg0XFbCaTZnqsiGx31YVq-z8zzFindroh167/s1600/Perfect+Home.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 293px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500266303152249570" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipI6cqjMFhC_fgJHYLvsfjyoIgYC4Ql9RKyOFmMsOEiqYis7elT7nmnA9eTRGuuptKbpcEcQ2jf5aXUcxfXFHlYzFAMDHtY77yiGUsAVy7Sg0XFbCaTZnqsiGx31YVq-z8zzFindroh167/s400/Perfect+Home.JPG" /></a> A friend gave me some "magazines" he found while cleaning out his wife's grandmother's house, as it turned out it was a small stack of promotional real estate magazines called The Perfect Home Magazine, published and presented by Jackson and Scherer, Real Estate-Insurance-Building. Apparently the publication was paid for by numerous sponsors. Averaging about ten to twelve pages per issue, I guess I should call them brochures. The color cover featured houses that were in the KC area but most of them were not, as seen below...<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRbMocRlOWj7MXly0sKi8bjIwVYlSL1Iglf0JQxsN8sjNC86eUeNiKDLxZ37IFeh9ErNOz7I6ygYLqremAaU1T_jjJe0YqubbNL7-_iV5ehrm7RP_VLtTm00dpd0ZtLD0sbZjGuHyhLYUe/s1600/Perfect+Home1.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 293px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500265824225843778" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRbMocRlOWj7MXly0sKi8bjIwVYlSL1Iglf0JQxsN8sjNC86eUeNiKDLxZ37IFeh9ErNOz7I6ygYLqremAaU1T_jjJe0YqubbNL7-_iV5ehrm7RP_VLtTm00dpd0ZtLD0sbZjGuHyhLYUe/s400/Perfect+Home1.JPG" /></a> I love the photo below, the issue features exterior skylights, I'm not sure this small circular one has much impact other than visually.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC50ULSgRJL5GeTvtpUcC2UQA64Cl0eLt0FiHGbjzmu0vaTOxY07K1f__eHMbmjEwzmla2C-Gv7LEFYhXtikjlYIUUeVIuQNXvszsVGeCUbG5H5YqFaw1kVrWRDXCYLbIvD5bpCtUtQ93h/s1600/Perfect+Home2.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 293px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500265504946421602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC50ULSgRJL5GeTvtpUcC2UQA64Cl0eLt0FiHGbjzmu0vaTOxY07K1f__eHMbmjEwzmla2C-Gv7LEFYhXtikjlYIUUeVIuQNXvszsVGeCUbG5H5YqFaw1kVrWRDXCYLbIvD5bpCtUtQ93h/s400/Perfect+Home2.JPG" /></a> About the fifth magazine down in the pile, I found this one featuring the Marcel Breuer designed house on Belinder in Mission Hills, KS. The home was 8 years old when this issue came out in May, 1962. It was never for sale and and is still owned by the original clients. Inside there are no stories, features or more photos of the house.</div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN8-TZnA_3ffmETOm_dVqKGD1QwTG5inGjSABMnlSL2t4AR_Mt1u34vt36OfS9zP1Z9QZbMte7wLVdWNtevUpZjth47bxr5195tIZQjyRTg8ACym4DGnRtuiAaJ199uLuy6KV2qjQdlRZY/s1600/Perfect+Home3.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 293px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500263099830043954" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN8-TZnA_3ffmETOm_dVqKGD1QwTG5inGjSABMnlSL2t4AR_Mt1u34vt36OfS9zP1Z9QZbMte7wLVdWNtevUpZjth47bxr5195tIZQjyRTg8ACym4DGnRtuiAaJ199uLuy6KV2qjQdlRZY/s400/Perfect+Home3.JPG" /></a> They do have great little stories and features covering a wide variety of topics, all in black and white.
