Thomas Mann House: exterior
This photograph of the front of the house with trees and landscaping was altered (possibly by Davidson himself) to add vines and leaves to the exterior walls and balconies of the house. In this view, the first floor terrace is not yet enclosed, and the second floor sun deck is on the upper right, prior to an addition by the Lappen family in the 1970s.
