Energy and Optimism

Salute the clean-lined vision of the residence’s first owners, George and Sybil Tall, who found in modern design an expressive language for post-war prosperity and the resilience of the American Dream.

Treasure the traces of mid-century built history – a long, low-slung dual-fuel fireplace in the great room, cleverly placed clerestory windows that bring slanted light into private spaces, and in the lower-level entertainment/media room articulating Sputnik spotlights, an original polychrome mural, and a resplendent tiki bar (by Bellevue designer Mangin as part of a 1955 rec room addition).

Embrace nostalgia for a bygone era when retail was local and personal and a bright red-and-yellow lighted marquee welcomed eager customers to bustling Tall’s Camera, where the proprietor would greet them by name.
