Part of a series that aims to place buildings within their historical context, this text considers Gehry's Schnabel House; Israel's Lawson-Weston House; and Moss's Drager House. It includes specially produced technical drawings that explain how the buildings were detailed and put together. It considers how the houses are all key buildings in the development of a recognized style of California residential architecture and how the buildings afforded their creator's the reputations as masters of spatial manipulation.
