Travel to U.S.: Oklahoma: Oklahoma City: Almost Modern: Photo 62

But Warr dared to experiment. This house was designed for Warr in 1948 by William Caudill and John Rowlett, then built by Clarke Pace. The cost is kept down by forgetting the attic and basement. Garage, too. The interior has an open plan, with few windows on the north side but large ones on the south. The bedrooms were big for the time: 12 by 15 and 12 by 12. When built, the house had no air-conditioning--only a 36-inch attic fan. It had no clothes dryer--only an automatic washer. Older shoppers didn't like it; younger ones reportedly loved it. Warr planned to build 80 houses like this, priced between $9,500 and $11,000. Most of the survivors have been modified, but this one, at NW 5905 49th, is intact.
