First all-electric house in Valdosta, new materials, unusual arrangement
of space for indoor-outdoor living on the same level outside as in, with light throughout because mostly only one room wide,
in a western atomic ranch house adapted for Valdosta.
Will what Dr. Willis had to say about
“a replete instance of the diffusion of Californian”
be enough to preserve the masterpiece of Lloyd Greer Sr. (1885-1952)
from development?
Announced as Valdosta’s Ultramodern Masterpiece: The Nichols House on Baytree, used as a frat house until recently, in a neighborhood approved for rezoning 5:2 (Turner Brooks, VA-2014-07) by the Valdosta City Council, this is the house that historic preservation may save and also prevent that development.
