Honor Easton and Alyne Whalen designed the interior design of this long, low, linear residence. In its plan, it suggested adobe precedents, but also resembled, on a grander scale, recent ranch houses, most specifically, John Funk's well-known Heckendorf House, Modesto, CA, (1939). Unlike Funk's minimal but elegant solution, this residence was for a wealthier client, and was bigger, containing four bedrooms, discrete hallways and a service room. The house reflected the interest in linear, en suite, one-room-deep floorplans in CA, particularly during the 1935-1950 period.
