  House Beautiful: Pace Setter Houses

  Visual Materials

  The House Beautiful Pace Setters Houses subseries consist of 1,494 black-and-white negatives, color transparencies, black-and-white prints, and color prints, circa 1948-1961, created by Maynard L. Parker and documenting House Beautiful's Pace Setter House Program. House Beautiful editor Elizabeth Gordon began the Pace Setter House program in 1946 to oppose the International Style of design embodied by architects such as Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius, and Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe. Pace Setter houses were intended to highlight a modern American architecture that emphasized craft and regionalism. The program continued until 1965, featuring 17 houses by architects including Cliff May, Henry Eggers, Walter Wilkman, Alfred Browning Parker, Harwell Hamilton Harris, and Roger Rasbach. Included are the 1948 Pace Setter House designed by Cliff May, the 1949 house designed by Emil Schmidlin, the three Pace Setter Houses of 1950 built by the David D. Bohannon Organization, the 1951 Pace Setter designed by Julius Gregory, the 1953 house designed by Henry Eggers, the 1955 house designed by Harwell Hamilton Harris, the 1956 house which was a remodel designed by Morgan Stedman, the 1958 house designed by Vladimir Ossipoff, and the 1961 house designed by Roger Rasbach.
