Peter and Karen McComb House

The Peter and Karen McComb House stands atop a steep rock ridge, featuring rectangular window panels and a T-shaped frame structure on a concrete foundation.

Marcel Breuer designed this residential property in 1950, completing the construction in 1951 as an example of post-World War II architectural innovation.

The residence demonstrates the principles of International Style architecture through its open floor plans, large windows, and geometric forms in residential design.

Located at 27 Hornbeck Ridge, the property extends across 3.3 acres and received National Register of Historic Places designation in August 2009.

Three separate additions modified the original structure in 1962, 1988, and 1994, adapting the house while maintaining its architectural character.
