Long Beach

heres some pics of a mid century house for sale down here (we are staying here). It has some really interesting design features, such as gyp applied to provide a reveal at the edges, and exposed plates. The board and bats are actually redwood! The unique aspect of this neighborhood, is that when you go for a walk, homeowners invite you in to their homes to see what they have done to their house. They are all very aware of what year their house was buildt, and how to maintain the Cliff May style of Architecture. The homes are very simple, but rich in history and the owners plan to keep it that way.
