Built in 1938 as a single-family residence, the Moen House is a contributing structure in the Olmstead-designed Rockwood National historic district. A molded concrete composition of stacked angular boxes with cut out corners, contrasted by streamlined rounded walls with wrapped steel sash in horizontal arrangement, the house illustrates the defining characteristics of the Art Moderne style. The house’s overall form is an alignment of stacked angular boxes with cut out corners that are contrasted by rounded walls. Smooth white concrete walls in a single story step back asymmetrically in crisp rectangular blocks along the west side and streamlined curves along the east side to segment the horizontal massing of the first floor. Multi-light steel sash windows, inset from crisp angular corners and bending with the flowing curves emphasize the horizontal banding of the composition. > Back to Spokane Register Properties > Moen House Nomination |
