Walter P. and May Wolf Reuther House

The main house features floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Paint Creek, vertical redwood planks painted dark brown, and a large stone chimney extending to one side.

Walter Reuther, president of the United Auto Workers union, and his wife May Wolf lived in this house from 1951 until their deaths in a plane crash in 1970.

The residence reflects mid-century modern architecture through its ranch-style design, incorporating natural materials and large glass surfaces connecting indoor spaces with the environment.

The property includes three separate buildings: the main house, a glass-walled guest house for visiting diplomats, and a guard house positioned near the road.

Paint Creek winds through the property, integrating with the architectural design as wooden decks extend over the water, creating direct engagement with the natural landscape.
