Wallace E. Pratt House
Wallace E. Pratt House, International Style residence in Salt Flat, Texas.
The Wallace E. Pratt House stretches 110 feet in length with glass walls and limestone construction at the edge of Guadalupe Mountains National Park.
Petroleum geologist Wallace Pratt commissioned architect Newton Bevin to design this residence, completing construction in 1943 after delays during World War II.
The structure represents a departure from traditional Texas residential design, incorporating modern architectural elements with natural materials in a desert setting.
Located at Pratt Drive and McKittrick Road, the house offers guided tours through the National Park Service on specific dates throughout the year.
A captain's bridge above the dining room leads to a rooftop terrace, providing views across the Texas plains and mountain ranges.
