It was designed and built in 1961, by locally prominent African American architect Robert T. Coles. It consists of two prefabricated rectangular units arranged in an "L"-shape in the Modern style. The studio unit is a single story and living unit is two levels. It has post-and-beam construction with a variety of pre-fabricated, non-structural panels and sliding glass door units. Coles once worked for the Techbuilt company under Carl Koch and the design of this dwelling reflects that experience.^[2]
