1230 S. Geyer Road, Possible Harris Armstrong-designed House

This interesting home has recently gone on the market in Kirkwood for $349,900.  The owners think it may have been designed by Harris Armstrong. It does look like his design and is the right vintage. 

I will check with Harris Armstrong expert, Andrew Raimist, and see what he says.  Check back for an update!

I've looked at this house many times while photographing its exterior. While the house was not designed by Harris Armstrong, it is of the same era as other white modernist homes from the pre-WWII era.

Some good local examples of white-painted brick homes taking inspiration from the International Style:

I forgot to link to some of my photographs of the house on South Geyer Road in Kirkwood.

If anyone knows the story of this house, its original owners, architect, builder, or other information, I would be most interested to speak with you.
