Kem Weber: Bixby house (Kansas City, Kan.)

The Walter E. Bixby house in Kansas City, Kansas was designed by local architect Edward W. Tanner, and the interiors of the large house were designed by Weber. With sleek Modern, even Moderne, lines on the outside, and a large budget, Weber designed furniture, interior room dividers, walls, and other furnishings with his signature 'flowing' lines. The 15,000 square foot house allowed Weber to design furnishings for a number of large rooms, including the living room, dining room, and basement 'rumpus' room, which featured a bar and over sized mural.
