Starkey House

The Starkey House features two rectangular volumes positioned on a hillside, with extensive windows facing Lake Superior and wooden support columns throughout the structure.

Marcel Breuer designed this residential building in 1954 for June Halverson Alworth, who later became June Starkey through her marriage to Robert Starkey.

The residence demonstrates the mid-century modernist architectural principles through its bi-nuclear plan, separating living spaces from sleeping areas via a central entrance.

The house spans 4,200 square feet across two main sections, with the upper level displaying board-and-batten siding and the lower level incorporating glass sunshades.

The property includes a separate garage structure constructed from fieldstone and painted brick, complementing the main building's architectural design.
