General view of front, from northwest; Morris is one of the architects included in Alan Hess' "Forgotten Modern: California Houses 1940-1970." Morris was a Pasadena-based mid-century architect inspired by R.W. Schindler, and designed some of the more structurally innovative homes in LA, including a duplex on Silverwood Terrace (Silver Lake), and the Bubeck House in Eagle Rock. Other notable Morris designs include his own 1957 studio-home in Silver Lake and the nearby 1962 Murakami house, where he used sharply defined steel frames to create bold cantilevers and complex vertical and horizontal spaces.
