Description
Built in the single-story"ranch style", the Walter Foster House project was one of Davidson's new designs bearing a departure from the International Style in favor of Soft Modernism. The house's plan incorporated local building styles and materials, a hallmark of the related concept of Regionalism. Sadly, it was never built.
