Notes:
The Hale house, the first building designed by Craig Ellwood after he established his own practice in 1949, is a small, low-budget house ($17,000) on an up-sloping site. The framing of 4-inch H-columns and 4-inch wood beams is typical of this early period. Between 1946 and 1949 he codesigned with a contractor two houses and three small apartment buildings in which his detailing was restricted or was revised in an effort to reduce costs. It was not until Elwood had full control over his work, beginning with the Hale house, that a consistency was established. He proved in the Hale house, moreover, that the crisp elegance that came out of the articulation of each of the elements added nothing to the cost."
