Low, Rugged...
and Pleasing
Typical of the many brick veneer residences in the King City Senior Citizens Development in Portland, Ore., is this beautiful residence of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Staub.
The slump block is 4 inches through the wall dimension, veneered over plywood sheathing. Skintled mortar joints add to the interest and match the hand-split roof shakes, creating a rugged western appearance.
Low maintenance cost is an important factor in the building program in this residential development, pleasing both owner and mortgagee.
Designer and builder was the Tualatin Development Co. Mason contractor was Ken Parker Mason Contractor, Inc., a member of MCAA and the Mason Contractors Association of Portland.
