Muir Dawson House, John Nash Anderson, Architect 1956
The house appears as a tree house, suspended above the canopy. The architect conceived the house as a Case Study Project, approaching his college friend after learning that he and his young bride had recently purchased a large lot in Silver Lake. The seller needed cash, and while the $3,000 price tag was steep, they managed to secure the necessary funds.
With limited financial resources, the original house was a single story, built on an upper level, with a lower level planned for future expansion. In later years, the lower section was completed, providing a home office, sitting room and master suite on the ground level. The house is set back a distance from the street, and is approached via a sloping ramp connecting to the upper level, providing the "tree house: effect. Located at 2321 Hidalgo Avenue in Silver Lake.
