Property Description
This striking-looking residence is the only example of the Art Moderne style of architecture on Calvin Park Boulevard. Art Moderne features one or more curved corners. Homes may have windows continuous around corners with glass blocks used as windows or full wall sections. The Modernistic style appeared primarily between1920 and 1940. The smooth surfaces, flat roof, and asymmetrical horizontal lines owe their use to the inception of industrial streamlining. With decorative detail reduced to a minimum, the design gives the feeling of uninterrupted movement. Built in 1951 by Ballard and Johnson, the first residents were the Charles Girdauskas family who remained until 1956, when they sold the house to William Taylor. In 1958, Anna Taylor sold the home to Ralph Baudhin, who, in 1959 sold the home to Henry J. Wirry. In 1978, Jack andKaren Erickson bought the home from the Wirrys. The Ericksons have raised their family in this interesting structure where they continue to reside. Key upgrades include a fullroof replacement and chimney rebuild by McDermott in 2011, along with a newly redone driveway just six months ago. The kitchen and home addition were completed in 1997, while the upstairs bathroom was renovated in 2007. The home's water heater was replaced in 2017, and the furnace is new as of 2024.
