[edit] Discussion
The Allewelt House is an under-recognized California modern classic - traditional on the outside, unique on the inside, appropriate to its context both formally and climatically, and boldly individual at the same time. The expansive wrap-around porches and the sculptural inner courtyard carved from the simple gable roof provide sensitive adaptations to the hot dry Central California climate.
