Mitchell House / Buff, Straub & Hensman

The Mitchell Residence, Buff, Straub & Hensman (1959)

I was up in Palos Verdes area a few weeks ago and stopped by to see Nate from Modern California House at his listing. This is the second time the house has been for sale. He sold it the first time for the family of the original owners. After ten years, he's selling it again. Fortunately, it's still in almost perfect original condition. That's a big feat in high cost per square feet neighborhoods like Rolling Hills Estates.  

A lot of the furniture is original to the house and was purchased at Frank Bros. That includes this Morredi set, the Frank Bros-owned line named after “Maurice” and “Ed” Frank. 

The original orange plastic laminate is used throughout the house. 

The Micthells and a young Donald Hensman.

According to the invoice below, these light fixtures were $8 each. They're in the interior as well. 

In addition to that, there are blueprints, landscape plan by Richard P. Gawne and construction photos.
