Roland Coate: Bixby house (Pasadena, Calif.)

This house, an interpretation of a Monterey style house, was one of Coate's earliest commissions as a solo architect, after the dissolution of the Johnson, Kaufmann, and Coate partnership. Stafford W. Bixby was a descendant of early California settlers, which might have been an inspiration for the architectural style. The two-story house features a second floor balcony which stretches almost the length of the facade.
The design earned Coate an AIA honor award and the Medalla de Plata y Diploma in the United States section of the Third Pan-American Congress of Architects in Buenos Aires.
