Exterior Overview of Classic Home 055, Jennings F. Sutor House, by Pietro Belluschi, Architect.
This house for a bachelor who entertains often sits on a hillside with a commanding view, against a background of tall firs and cedars. The wood-frame house is finished inside with white sand-floated plaster. A large section over and around fireplace is covered with zebra flexwood.
The ceiling of the entry hall is made of woven fir slats 1/8 inch (3.2 millimeters) thick and 2-1/2 inches (6.4 millimeters) wide. The floor covering is straw matting from the South Sea Islands. The rest of the oak floors have large light-apple-green rugs. The wall between the entry and living room is covered with gold Japanese straw paper to form a background for a Chinese painting. One wall of the entry hall has large vertical-grain fir panels left in their natural color.
