The Robert and Alice Power Residence, 1963
Cliff May design
Deeply rooted in the California tradition, Power selected Cliff May to design the house. While still on the drafting boards, one of the insiders in Cliff May's office wrote that when completed the house would be "a Cliff May Classic", and it is. No wonder that it was picked up by The Architectural Digest shortly after completion. Today, after 63 years, the residence still retains its design integrity and historic fabric. The purist will joyfully discover that even the kitchen and baths are unaltered.
