No longer is the koi pond outside the primary bedroom suite, as it has been covered in cement, but you can imagine the look through vintage photos by photographer Julius Shulman who shot the home in 1957.
The architect's home office
Truly a home for a family, the outdoor areas are perfect for entertaining or enjoying a day of sun by the pool. Listed for $2,500,000, this offering shouldn't last long on market with its provenance, design and fairly intact condition, should propel it into a quick escrow.
Morgridge began his career as a Junior Draftsman for Van Pelt & Lind in 1937 and would join Marsh, Smith & Powell as a Designer from 1943-1948 prior to him becoming a partner.
Partial Principal Works by Howard Henry Morgridge, F.A.I.A. include:
