Scope and content
The model home at 1101 Lenore Dr. in the Skyline Terrace subdivision was listed as a "Home for All America" in September, 1954. Designed by Cleveland architects Robert A. Little & Associates, it was built by well-known local builders, the Miller Construction Co. The design was sponsored by Better Homes & Gardens magazine which ran a 19 page article in its September, 1954, issue. The Skyline Terrace model was one of three adaptations of the basic plan. View of large corridor kitchen shows plenty of room for light colored stove and easy-to-clean metal cabinets on one side with automatic dishwasher across the aisle. Special cabinet features included a spice shelf, a cup shelf, towel drying racks and a vermin-proof bread drawer. A wooden three-piece dinette set is against the wall under the windows. A glimpse of what is possibly the dining room can be seen through the kitchen doorway. The 1955 City Directory shows the three bedroom home to be occupied by Fremont C. and Virginia Gault; Mr. Gault was an executive with Weyerhaeuser Timber.
