Imre and Maria Horner House

The Imre and Maria Horner House features extensive glass walls, redwood materials, and a rectangular structure measuring 24 by 45 feet on Merrivale Avenue.

Swiss architect Otto Kolb designed this residential property in the post-World War II period, incorporating modern architectural principles and environmental considerations into its construction.

The residence exemplifies the International Style movement's influence on American residential architecture through its minimalist design, open spaces, and integration with nature.

The house contains two floors with a living room, kitchen, study, two bedrooms, connecting pathways between structures, and a separate garage with utility space.

The building's south wall consists entirely of custom-manufactured plate glass from Pittsburgh, while cork tiles cover the floors throughout the interior spaces.
