The Bailey Residence / Kendrick Bangs Kellogg

 

The Bailey Residence by Kendrick Bangs Kellogg (1983-1989) 

Dave Hampton took Dung Ngo and I on a Kellogg outing this week. The first stop was in the northern tip of San Diego County to visit a project on a 40 acre avocado ranch in Valley Center, CA

After seeing Kellogg speak at a lecture in Balboa Park, Joe and Barbara Bailey asked him to design a "simple house" for their hilltop property. Kellogg responded with the design we see today.

 The Baileys managed and took part in much of the construction. This labor of love started in 1984 and took 6 years to build. It is still owned by the Bailey family.

John Vugrin did the door.

Ranch workers used rocks from the site to do all of the masonry work.
