Seamour and Gerte Shavin House
Seamour and Gerte Shavin House, National Register of Historic Places residence in Missionary Ridge, Chattanooga, United States.
The 1952 Usonian residence incorporates local crab orchard stone and Louisiana cypress wood materials, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Lookout Mountain.
Seamour and Gerte Shavin met Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin in 1949 to discuss their house project, which became the only Wright building in Tennessee.
The residence demonstrates mid-century architectural principles through its L-shaped design, integrated furniture, and emphasis on connecting interior spaces with nature.
The house features a carport instead of a garage, electrically heated red concrete floors, and multiple built-in storage solutions throughout the living spaces.
The den contains a large stone fireplace with mitered glass corner windows that open outward, creating seamless views between indoor and outdoor environments.
