Lindgren Family - Nutwood House - page 4

Tonight I found the last page of the article on the Nutwood House. I will continue to work with the clarity but for now this is what I could do.

I found this page on 21 May 2021, utilizing my on Newspapers.com .

This page reads:

Home on a Quiet Country Lane

(Continued From, Page 17)

in curtains and other incidental appointments. A built-in electric range and wall oven provide the utmost in modern equipment. The room is softly lit without glare by means of concealed lights, in a trough spanning the length of the room.

A SLIDING DOOR separates the kitchen from the entry. The entry achieves considerable interest by means of the brick wall which is actually the side of the living room fireplace.

To the left of the entry is the kitchen and beyond that, also accessible from the hall is the living-dining area. A turn to the right leads to a short and gaily decorated hallway to the three bedrooms.

The first bedroom, one divided by the fireplace wall from the living room, is the Lindgrens' teen-age daughter's room. This pleasing room enjoys a sweeping view of the garden and orange trees through its plate glass floor-to-ceiling windows.

This room, which one day will be converted to a den, is currently enjoying the textural interest lent it by the "semiwall" of brick that is actually the back with an eye to the future, the architects cannily provided a niche next to this structure where a fireplace may be easily built into the den. With this to mind, a chimney for this future fireplace has already been built into the house.

Their daughter's room has been carried out in turquoise, coca and white.

The master bedroom also facing the back of the lot, is decorated predominantly in shades of sky blue. The third bedroom is yellow.

A clever feature is an idea dreamed up by Mrs. Lindgren - was to paper the hallway in a lively Tree of Life pattern, that happened to employ all the colors used in the three bedrooms as well as the deep rose used for the two baths. A whimsical note was added when Mrs. Lindgren requested the painters to paint the hall doors leading to the bedrooms turquoise, blue and yellow, respectively. The two bathroom doors are pink.

Now the problem of directing guests to the master bedroom or the bath has been reduced to utmost simplicity. Their inquiries are answered with a simple, "Go to the blue doors," or "Walk to the first pink door down the hall."

end of the room is glass through which sunlight filters high up at the ceiling level. Typical of open planning, this gives the interior an airy, high-flying quality that is a welcome variance from the boxed-in cubical that is the unhappy heritage of many old-fashioned bungalows.

A room-length trough features concealed lighting and mechanism for forced air heat. This lighting trough is an extension of the dropped ceiling of the entry and the kitchen and adds an interesting change of ceiling level to the overall composition of the room.

An open arch connects the kitchen with the living-dining area. The kitchen was planned within handy radius of the front door, an item of vast importance to Mrs. Lindgren, who spends much of her time in this pleasant meal-preparation center.

The kitchen faces the front of the lot and a modern breakfast bar outfitted with squat modern stools enjoys a vista of the tree-lined road through its plate glass window. Natural birch cabinets combine with oatmeal flecked tile to present a completely neutral setting for any change-of-color scheme Mrs. Lindgren may wish to carry out

(Top picture, this page reads: "Open planning, natural woods and deeply overhanging roof lend a casual and rural appearance to the Garden Grove home of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Lindgren."

Bottom picture, this page reads: " A sweeping driveway will be installed at the front of the Lindgren home, to lead to a carport set over a slab of concrete, doubling as a dance floor.")

Lindgren Family - Nutwood House - page 2

QUIET COUNTRY lane bordered by lofty eucalyptus trees is the setting for the new 6-room of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Lindgren.

The 1375-square-foot house is like a well-thought-out and carefully-plotted play, perfectly staged with a background of verdant orange trees and foreground shaded by the benevolent old eucalyptus.

Located at 10141 Nutwood Rd., the house is at perfect repose within its natural frame. It was designed by architects Killingsworth, Brady and Smith, AIA. and represents the finest in rural, countryside architecture.

Its rugged redwood board-and-batten exterior has been stained a soft greenish-fray, pleasantly echoing the foliage tones of the surrounding trees.

Its white crushed rock rood adds considerable texture interest and carries out the contemporary mood desired by the owners. The roof has a deep overhang, emphasizing the horizontal, earth-hugging lines of the house. Bordering the roof overhand in a fascia (composed of a horizontal wood member two inches thick and 16 inches wide) which slants back toward the house, creating a unique "tucked-in" feeling. The immense feeling of security and solidarity lent the structure by this simple architectural feature exemplifies the dramatic power of good contemporary design.

The Lindgren house is not yet complete. The owners have wisely chosen to construct it gradually, adding the final fillips one at a time. Still to be added are the car port and the circular drive which will sweep in a leisurely arc from the road up to and away from the concrete courtyard which is destined to serve the happy function of square dance floor as well as a car park.

THE LINDGREN HOUSE will have evolved through three stages before its ultimate completion. In its first stage, the house was a simple box containing a large all-purpose room, a kitchen and a bath. It was here the Lindgrens lived with their four children while the rest of the structure was still in the planning stage.

Step by step the staff of architects and the Lindgrens agreed on plans for the new wing which was to merge with the already existent unit to form an L.

The original segment of the house faces the courtyard that will eventually merge with the carport, thus extending itself into one long uninterrupted area for games and dancing. To further unite this party area into an integrated whole, the old living room, kitchen and bath unit will covert to a spacious rumpus room. Its present conventional door and windows facing the courtyard will soon be replace with sliding plate glass doors that will permit a more perfect union between the indoor and outdoor play areas.

The new wing consists of a living-dinging area orientated toward the back an ultra -modern kitchen that faces the front, three bedrooms and two baths. This, in combination with the original kitchen bath and playroom, represents a house well geared for this family of six.

In response to their clients' wishes for an easily maintained and easy-going house, the architects brought a number of significant principles into playin the interior.

A complete departure from formality and pretentiousness was achieved with the use of naturally finished wood surfaces, absence of all "cute" and useless detail, and open planning.

Heavy members of the exposed-beam ceiling were stained dull black through which grain and knots are still visible. The effect is that of old weathered lumber, adding immensely to the atmosphere of lived-in permanence. Natural woods compliment the house's richly wooded setting that is echoed and seemingly invited right into the house through extensive walls of plate glass that frame the orange grove and garden.

TYPICAL of the current architectural tendency of allowing natural materials to add decorative interest as well as structural service to the body to the body of the house, the architects designed that the facade back and side of the enormous fireplace of common brick be left exposed. Consequently, the rugged structure of the red brick fireplace adds imposing interest not only to the living room but to the entry and a bedroom, besides. A generation ago, all this would been camouflaged under layers of plaster and coasts of paint. One look at the Lindgrens' cheery and benevolent-looking fireplace explodes the old theory that such structural members must be hidden like skeletons in closets!

The ceiling of the living room is of pitched, open -beam construction. Its husky beams slope toward and beyond the plate glass windows to form an eight-foot overhang which roofs the terrace.

Home on a Quiet Country Lane

Brian's parents employed architects to design their first home in Anaheim California. The address for the house was 10141 Nutwood Road. [Brian tells me that was a "county" address. It changed when the city of Anaheim annexed the area to the city of Anaheim.] The home was featured in the "Independent-Press-Telegram Southland Magazine, on October 3, 1954. [I reminded him that I wasn't even born yet but kept Mom waiting until the 16th.]

The caption on the left side below the picture reads: "Pitched ceiling with open beam construction and fireplace of common brick bring rustic informality to living-dining area of the Carl Lindgren home."

The caption under the picture on the right side of the page reads: "the back of the living room fireplace lends textured interest to bedroom wall. When room later is convert to a den, niche (center rear) will receive a new fireplace." [Photos by H.S. Melvin]

WHAT GOD HAS PROMISED

God hath not promised

Skies always blue,

Flower-strewn pathways

All lives through;

God hath not promised

Sun without rain,

Joy Without sorrow,

peace without pain.

But God has promised

Strength for the day,

Rest for the labor,

Help from above,

Unfailing sympathy

Undying love.
