Here’s your chance to snag a home in Midland, Michigan, the midwestern town lauded for its impressive collection of midcentury-modern architecture. Alden B. Dow, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, kickstarted early efforts to transform the area and was supported by many others who eventually joined him. While the architect of this particular property is unknown, its original features are in a classic, midcentury style—albeit with a colorful twist.
Now up for sale in Midland, Michigan, this midcentury home is located in a quiet residential area north of the town center. Completed in 1964, the single-story residence features a facade of stacked limestone and redwood cladding, as well as a sharply angled roof.
