1956 Houston Parade of Homes – The House of Ideas

7519 Cayton St. – Houston TX (architect: H.R. Winslett)

 

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

 

Try if you can, to envision a four-level roof (with each roof completely flat), three private patios dotted picturesquely around the house and an interior designed with a new slant on ‘open living.’

 

The House of Ideas was demolished and the land is now part of the Ortiz Middle School campus.
