 The Hale House. This Modernist designed home was constructed in Beverly Hills, California in 1949. Located at 9618 Yoakum Drive, it was built using 4-inch “H” columns and 4 x 10 inch wood beams. These columns and wood beams connected to form the frame of the house. The house is raised on stilts, which allow for a carport to be included underneath. Also included in the building of the Hale House were glass panels, steel frames, and stud walls. These walls did not touch the roof deck or ceiling beams, so the house could appear open and welcoming with sunlight...
