Scope and content
Exterior of Longbranch home. This cedar and stone summer beach house owed by Mr. and Mrs. William L. Dafoe of Seattle won first prize in the Western Homes Awards sponsored by the American Institute of Architects and Sunset Magazine. The waterfront home featured covered wooden walkways and large view windows. The front entrance was reached by a series of these covered walkways, specifically planned around native evergreens, fern gardens and rock coverings. Driftwood and live trees were artfully mingled. The home was designed by Seattle architects Kirk, Wallace, McKinley and Associates so that the main rooms would take full advantage of beach views. Photograph ordered by the Weyerhaeuser Co.
