1978? Mid century. Its style? Mid century. Becket? One of the great MCM architects of all. Just because it’s an outlier in the Eichler-land/CSH/Ellwood-dominated palette doesn’t disqualify it at all.

I graduated from Art Center seven years ago and I can tell you the Craig Ellwood design is a disaster as a school building. The layout completely impractical and leaks like a sieve when it rains. The windows don’t open, it’s painted black, and it cooks its occupants when hit with sunlight. In my experience, everything about Art Center is profoundly overrated. Except the tuition. That really is huge.

Wow! I don’t say this often, but that is one really ugly interior. Bradbury is a really, really nice city, too. Bradbury is where the really rich, old money goes to live. Unfortunately, this home will only appeal to Persians.

@Craig A Marlar: Racist, much?

Relax guys, this is a solid California Ranch Modern, despite the icy terrazzo floor. Look at the slumpstone, the wood, the loose angles — it’s trying to be Cliff May, not Craig Elwood. That said, the ’80s were no friend to the Ranch vernacular.

Those bios are hilarious. The guy with no hair is only 35? "MJ" needs to get Jenny Craig on speed dial.

The Stevens house was my first introduction to John Lautner’s mastery of architecture, back when I was a little boy (about 1970). We had a house up the beach — FAR up the beach — but I would make the long trek and back just to look at it..and others along the same stretch that I later found out were by noted architects such as Lautner, and Craig Elwood. How lucky I was to have been exposed to that, before Dick Clark’s Hyatt-Hotel of a house started the trend toward the steroidal things we see becoming so prevalent now, seaside.

Central heat and air, along with the 1 car garage kind of make it worth it. I love "List of Craig" by the way.

japan’s disaster has understandably unnerved the world, made us all realise just how fragile our existence can be.
but this is still a great ellwood, whether at the base of a canyon, edge of a hill, or by the sea…….

Another NYC lawsuit – NYT:
Nine months after the city removed his last billboard warning against immigration to the United States, the man who put it up has sued for the right to erect his signs in the city. Craig Nelsen, whose organization, ProjectUSA, calls for restriction on immigration, filed suit on Thursday in Federal Court for the Southern District of New York against the city, the Port Authority, the Brooklyn borough president and the City Council speaker, Peter Vallone, for violating his group’s right to free speech. In 1999, Mr. Nelsen said, the city removed two signs he had put up in Brooklyn and Queens calling for the curtailing of immigration. Last summer, the city removed a third sign on a Port Authority building near the Brooklyn Bridge. The sign read, ‘’Immigration is doubling U.S. population in our lifetimes.’’ City officials said Mr. Nelsen did not have permits for the 1999 signs, and a spokesman for the Port Authority said his agency had not been consulted about the content of the sign erected on their building. In his suit, Mr. Nelsen said the removal of the signs was unconstitutional and has created ‘’a climate of fear and intimidation.’’ ‘’It prevents us from engaging in democratic debate with our fellow citizens over an important issue,’’ he said. The suit asks that ProjectUSA be allowed to erect its signs and asks for an acknowledgment that the defendants had violated the group’s First Amendment rights. Officials of the city and the Port Authority said they did not believe that the suit had merit. Donna Lieberman, interim director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, said that the organization had not been approached by Mr. Nelsen, but that it would consider supporting the case. ‘’We believe very strongly that the city does not have the authority to impose its viewpoint on the billboards,’’ she said.
