Property Description
The Judge & Jeannie Anderson Residence, Aaron G. Green FAIA (1959). An oceanfront estate property of nearly 3.5 acres with magnificent views of the Pacific Ocean, Abalone Cove, and Catalina Island. One of Frank Lloyd Wright’s most talented and original disciples, Green ran his own distinguished practice while serving as Wright’s West Coast representative from 1951 until the elder architect died in 1959. The Anderson Residence is one of Green’s finest works- an important and almost entirely intact example of his Organic Modernism. True, there is a roof overhead, and there are walls and mullions supporting it, Curtis Besinger wrote for House Beautiful Magazine (1963). But these do not seem so much to shut in and contain the space as to shelter it, give it definition, and suggest its use. …The inside and outside have been conceived and planned as one continuous area. While deeply influenced by Wright’s work and teachings, Green exhibited his own masterful and expressive architectural vocabulary in the Anderson Residence. The procession of space begins with a deeply recessed entryway. Once inside, a V-shaped plan directs sharply gabled rooflines outward in two directions; they seem to float above the living space. A private bedroom wing is to the left, and the more public spaces- living room, dining room, and kitchen- are straight ahead. Sweeping ocean views reveal themselves unexpectedly. There are areas of dramatic openness; others are more intimate and withdrawn. Two guest bedrooms and both baths face northeast towards a serene and private Japanese garden.
