Michael and Shera Myers purchased the house in 2005. It was built in 1959 and designed by Ralph Anderson, an architect who helped define the modern Northwest style. The house had been "updated" since then with faux drapery and ornate wallpaper, and the Myers' focused their remodel on bringing the house back to its modern trailblazer roots.

I really appreciate what they've done with the house especially in regards to returning the house to its original splendor. Nicely done indeed.

It's great to see a house that fits so well into the Northwest environment. So much modernist architecture is designed for the midwest -- it often looks out of place elsewhere.
