cool homes

**plugboots** · 09-05-2021, 04:58 PM

I was thinking that refrigerator was a mid century modern looking refrigerator with modern insides. Nonetheless even if that’s the case, the rest of the kitchen blows.

It’s still a nice sized lot.

Are plywood walls and ceilings and exposed conduit a thing in Bozeman?

Right?
I like the house a lot, except for all those interior design choices.

they were a msm thing many places.

No kidding. I've seen wood walls and features on the inside of MSMs but it's always looked like paneling (mostly the good kind but also some fiberboard).

book matched or slip match sliced hardwood veneer plywood is one thing. Roll-sliced softwood plywood is another.

Plywood walls like this were definitely a mid-century thing, especially 1950. You'd see the same in eichler houses. Remember, building material supply chain problems were worse post world war II then they are now. This wasn't an opulent home, and that means finishes were probably pretty limited in 1950.

As for the conduit, that usually means that lighting was provided by switch activated outlets. This also means that there are layers and layers of "improvements" done to an already sketchy electrical system.

Neutra did a whole home in Douglas Fir Plywood (Brentwood, listed for $5 million recently).

I don’t attribute it to supply chains, more Available labor. A Loos quality opulent surface interior takes high skill high value labor. Bozeman had a population of 12,000 when it was built. (My g. Grandfather was a home builder/carpenter/contractor in that era - not in bzn though).

Do they not allow subdividing parcels in Bozeman ? I would think that's a city's wet dream creating multiple taxable parcels with structures especially during a building boom.

Fun fact, there's an honest to god Neutra here in Bozeman. https://www.architecturaldigest.com/...article-062004

There was some pretty progressive architecture here post war, having an architecture program at the local uni helped a small town have some pretty incredible MCMs. There's some places here that would be show stoppers if plopped down in Palo Alto or Rustic Canyon.

The post war material shortage was a very real thing. Eichler homes and the case Study houses were created in part as a result of the shortages.

5 city lots is 0.34 acres?

Cool house though. Has potential.

3000 sq/ft is pretty common.

Yeah, pretty sweet house. Interesting the kitchen seems to be set up for the homeowners to do the cooking, as opposed to a separate room for the staff to work in. Do the 1% cook their own meals?

Here's one that came up in the Bellingham area recently - I'm not that crazy about the house (not that I could afford it), but they have a really nicely-engineered and fabricated staircase:

Not sure about the 1%, but with this house I think you're talking about the 0.01%!

**zion zig zag** · 10-01-2021, 10:52 AM

I just went down the rabbit hole on houses for sale in San Miguel De Allende based on the Sotheby's link. For whatever reason.

Nice...my hat is off to the person who spotted it and saw the potential for a remodel. They had some vision.

Need to tone down the garishness in a few rooms, but that view and that setting are spectacular!
