7606 Cayton St. – Houston TX (architect: E. Kelly Gaffney)

 

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

 

Quality rather than quantity has been stressed in every aspect of this compact, well-designed home. The exterior is of ‘Saltillo,’ a soft canary colored brick imported from Mexico. Vertical siding has been used in the contemporary gables for a finish contrast. A 30-foot long brick planter runs across the front of the home, and four sloping brick pylons support the overhanging Ther-Mo white roof – a design which gives the exterior a semi-contemporary appearance.
