The Donald Pollock House was completed in 1957. Designed by renowned architect Bruce Goff, the home is anything but ordinary. It is constructed as an interlocking squares clustered together in a matrix with steep hipped roofs over each square with diamond-shaped skylights. The interior is an open plan with no convention walls, except for the bathroom and storage areas. Wood partitions can be used to close off areas. There are nine modules approximately 14 x 14 ft. giving an overall saw-tooth configuration. To read a full description of this unusual building, see page 9 and 10 of the nomination form. (
