We bought it a few months ago as a foreclosure (!) ... and thank goodness that all is still intact. The only thing missing was the Moe lamps but we had a surprise visitor yesterday ... one of the former owners dropped them off along with all the original blueprints and renderings! And he wouldn't take a dime for them .... In brief, it was designed in 1958 by architects Walter Zick & Sharp. It's one of twelve identified residences in Vegas they designed, but their public buildings are better known ... The Dunes, The Mint, Plaza Hotel (downtown Vegas), and a host of other iconic mid-century modern casinos/buildings in Vegas. The house wasn't constructed until 1966 but the plans didn't change much.

I doubt I have the money but I am trying to find either the quintessential gold veigned mirror tiles - or THIS wallpaper - for my dark interior hallway. Oh Lord – How much?
