The Frayser Bauhaus, 3590 Thomas St; Memphis TN
1946
The Frayser Bauhaus was constructed circa 1946 as a residence. It is an Art Moderne/International Style building identified by its smooth wall surface, flat roof with a ledge coping, horizontal elements, curved windows, glass block, and asymmetrical façade. Although the popular period for this style was generally 1920-1940, it was never common. This property is one of the few surviving examples scattered throughout the country. It was built as a residence by developer Max Millstead and later became a doctor’s office. Newspaper reports at the time suggest a fun interior with a huge circular couch, zebra-striped banquette, knotty pine, and blue-green carrara glass (pigmented structural glass). Included in the AIA Survey of Modern Houses in Memphis. Learn more at frayserbauhaus.com.
69 Goodway Lane
Architect: Robert Lee Browne
1976
The heart of this house is its monumental living space with towering fireplace wall, sky lights, and beds planted with living trees and foliage. Large windows blur the line between interior and exterior space. Tile flooring, horizontal wood lapped paneling, and sunken tile showers with generous windows lend an organic, outdoorsy vibe to this sophisticated home. Also included in the AIA Survey of Modern Houses in Memphis.
998 Fair Meadow Road
1960
An unknown architect created a mid-century modern ranch house that checks all the boxes of the MCM enthusiast—terrazzo floors, brick hearth, paneling, colorful mosaics, steel kitchen cabinets, floating built-ins, and of course, yards and yards of glass, glass, glass. All perched on a hill that grants privacy to the front yard pool.
4886 Briarcliff Ave
1960
A classic ranch on the outside explodes with a riot of color and texture inside, creating an environment evocative of the famous Sunnylands estate in Rancho Mirage, California. Come ready to be inspired for your next home project.
