Description
This house in Altadena for John C. Wilfong was a long, low, glass-walled house with views towards the mountains. The investment banker Wilfong wanted a house where he and his wife could entertain and raise their child. Ain designed a linear house with formal entertaining areas that could be walled off with a sliding partition from the informal living areas. Unfortunately, the house burned in 1993 and was completely destroyed.
