1939 California Homes - The Hayward, architect Geroge P. Simonds

 


The house was designed for a family of three. It is located on the bank of a stream with a pleasant view of the rolling foothills to the northeast.

The plan was largely dictated by the width of the lot, a storm sewer casement occupying I feet along the southeast property line leaving only 39 feet for the building.

Designed for modern living, the Deck and Living Room Terrace take full advantage of the California Sun. The Living Room finished in white pine plywood, inlaid with mahogany, has a fireplace of rose colored Roman bricks and an adjoining reading Lounge. The Kitchen with bone white walls and casework has a drainboard and counter of jade green Linoleum and a floor of moss green linoleum. The Son's bedroom is finished in Ponderosa pine, other rooms are finished in stucco with oak floors. Baths have walls and ceilings of tempered pressed. The upper bath with venetian red and sand colored walls and terra cotta linoleum floor. The built-in couch and Rollaway bed in the Library, provide accommodations for guests.

The exterior walls are all of California redwood. Windows are Libby-Owens- Ford glass, and heating is by Fraser gravity hot air, gas fired furnace.
