Markham Drive in Mount Lebanon is not yet included in the Mount Lebanon Historic District, but it ought to be. It is a street of architecturally distinctive houses, mostly from the 1930s, that are in an extraordinarily fine state of preservation, at least externally. We have already seen one of them: the “Transition House” designed by Brandon Smith to entice conservative home-buyers to accept modern construction methods. Here is a generous album from the rest of the street.
This modernistic ranch house, in the style old Pa Pitt calls Discount Usonian, is a definite outlier on the street. Someone had a lot of fun with the woodwork on the porch.
