RSM reader John emailed with the following question:

I’m looking for recommendations re architects who are interested in a contemporary revision or rebuild of a late 50’s house in the Magnolia Woods area.

Suggestions?

Alright Architects, here’s your chance to let John know how he can contact you — put your contact information in the comments section below. John mentioned to me that the picture is of the beginning, not the journey’s end. I think he’s probably looking for your most creative suggestions. Readers, care to comment on what you’d like to see done to John’s red-brick ranch?

Thank you so much for all of your kind emails and comments. Unfortunately, my real work (as in, the work I get paid to do) has been taking up a huge chunk of my time. I will be updating this blog very shortly with loads of new photographs, properties for sale, commercial buildings and history, and maybe even some interior photos of featured buildings.

 This fantastic example of a 1960s house in Stanford Place is for sale for $549,900. It’s a little pricey, but the area is fantastic and the house is completely period. Check out the link to the CJ Brown website to see interior pictures–they will blow your mind. The kitchen–untouched! The laundry room–seafoam green laminate! Slate flooring, soaring fireplace… the list goes on and on. There’s an open house this Sunday. I won’t be able to go, but hopefully someone will be able to report back… is it as great as person as it is in the pictures? To see more pictures and read a description of the property, click here.
