The round, wood-sided Buckner House dated c. 1947; a one-story residence, it featured redwood siding and large plate glass windows. The residence was shaded by broad, overhanging eaves, and featured an expansive concrete patio that encircled much of the dwelling. It was featured in an advertisement for Kimsul Blanket Insulation, produced by the Kimberly-Clark Corporation, based in Neenah, WI. According to a letter published in this advertisement, the designer, Jon Konigshofer wrote: "In addition to fulfilling the wishes of our client, we wanted to prove that low-cost homes can be erected in a short period of time and still be attractively designed." (See "Prominent architect selects KIMSUL for low cost, high insulating efficiency," Architectural Forum, 91:1, 07/1949, p.28.)
