A fantastic 1945 Marin County home by Harvey Parke Clark. Plans provided.

 


The house shown here was designed for an elderly lady who wanted a home planned for today and tomorrow, not for yesterday. That Mr. Clark complied with her wishes to an eminent degree is evident. Most homes in Marin County are built on knolls, and this is no exception. The driveway has a 17 per cent grade, but the goal is worth it. The house commands a beautiful view of Mt. Tamalpais, and is surrounded with live oaks. 

The entrance porch walls are terra cotta red stucco, with the walls of the house a neutral gray, and doors and soffits of bone white. 




The dining area is practically a part of the living room, separated only by a screen wall, part solid and part folding, which also forms part of the entry hall. Wallpaper is gray-green and putty colored.  Note the interesting roof lines in the patio.  The sliding sash extends the entire length and height of the south-ern wall of the living room.
