Scope and content
Combination living and dining room designed and built by Tietz Construction for William Tietz. The formal dining room was not a feature of fifties home design; dining rooms extended off of the living room for more casual dining. The combined living-dining room is 38 feet long with 24 feet of six foot deep windows. Massive sandstone forms the modern fireplace, continuing into the slight partition and into a planting wall behind the sofa. Each stone was hand-chipped on the scene. Deep toned walls of the dining area shade into a paler tone in the living room and blend with soft rose broadloom carpet. Except the kitchen, baths and recreation room, the entire house is finished with wall to wall broadloom carpet. (TNT 4/28/1951, pg. C-12)
