7615 Cayton St. – Houston TX (architect: E. Kelly Gaffney)

 

From an advertisement for the 1956 Houston Parade of Homes brochure (thanks to GlenbrookValley.com):

 

Home folks think a kitchen is as good as its cabinets and if you are one of those, or would like to be converted to the idea, the ‘Arrington-built Sample House’ at 7615 Cayton Street affords a rewarding visit.

Builder John Arrington has personalized his home with custom made cabinets crafted in his own mill. In addition, the garage will contain an exhibit of various types of custom made cabinets. Housed in the garage along with the display is a washer and drier by Frigidaire which also supplies the dishwasher, disposal, refrigerator-freezer combination and the completely built-in cooking units for the culinary center.

Mahogany kitchen cabinets give added depth to the rich mahogany lined kitchen walls. A built-in plastic top panelyte table divides the kitchen from the den, or family area, which is also mahogany paneled. Readily accessible to the family area is a patio with brick planter offering varied possibilities for ‘built-in’ landscaping.
