7538 Cayton St. – Houston TX (architect: William Floyd)

 

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

 

The use of horizon sliding glass doors gives charming glimpses of the patio both from the living room and the family room. Glass is uniquely used in the baths to give vistas of the outdoors, and make bathing and primping a pleasure as well as a duty.

A number of things are worth the viewer’s time in this house. There is the charming birch-paneled kitchen with Frigidaire built-in. As noted, it overlooks the scored cement patio which is enclosed by a dramatically curved brick wall..
