This house predates the Gropius House (built in the same town) by a year. When the plans were submitted to the town building department Hoover was asked why he was building a gas station so far back from the road - it was not visible from the road and no cars would drive up there to get gas.
A beautiful home - an example of sophisticated simplicity.

Harris Ave. House by Charles Goodman
This house is located in Wheatoncrest, which includes 27 homes designed by Goodman for developers Paul Berman and Paul Hammond. 250 homes were originally planned but the land they purchased–unlike the land used for Hollin Hills–was already cleared of trees and the homes did not sell well. They eventually sold the rest of the lots to other developers who did not build modern homes. This house has some interesting touches including high clerestory windows in the one bathroom and operating transom windows over the doors of each of the three bedrooms. It also has some good outdoor space for the warmer months.
