W. Earl Wear / Architecture

W. Earl Wear (1958)

Wear (1925-2011) was a Canadian who received his Master's Degree in Architecture from the University of Toronto. He moved to California in 1952 and designed nine homes in Los Angeles. This was his first. 

Wear was obviously influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright. The house is essentially Usonian, although Wear definitely put his own spin on it.

Soleri bells = In the know

Stan Hawk = Really in the know

FYI, when the mailbox looks like this, the house is going to be great.
