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.
