It is interesting where a picture on the internet will lead. The above photo was taken by Julius Shulman in 1960. Shulman died last week. The photo is called "Case Study House #22. Stahl Residence at 1635 Woods Drive. Los Angeles. Architect: Peter Koenig."
Selena asked "What was a Case Study House?" Good question. So we Binged it. Wikipedia said that this house was as part of a 1945 program sponsored by Arts & Architecture magazine that challenged the leading architects of the day to design and build inexpensive houses to deal with the housing boom caused by the end of World War 2.
Anyway, we also found out the house above was prominently featured in the very first episode of Columbo in 1968. Cool!
