The Five Star homes in the #2903 series were built in the Lortondale development, Tulsa, Oklahoma. Builder Howard Grubb wanted to avoid a "subdivision look" without losing the advantages of mass building. So he asked architect Donald Honn for a "family" of individual designs that would hold costs down, yet produce a group of good-looking, good-living houses.
The layout of the homes is the same. Roof varies only in grid overhang and the direction of slope. Walls change only in texture, pattern and color - not in basic framework. Window location in each house is quite similar, but various shapes and sizes make windows a flattering part of the design.
For more secluded locations, this house has larger windows on the street side. Shoulder-high wall of stone carries across the front to form an entry court. Open grid above creates interesting shadow lines, lets planting have sun.
