This John Lautner-designed house featured prefabricated column and beam elements which were installed by a subcontractor to reduce costs. The Mauers were their own general contractor. Lautner worked for Frank Lloyd Wright in the first class of Taliesin Fellows at Spring Green WI.  Lautner supervised Fallingwater in Pennsylvania and the Johnson Wax Building in Wisconsin.
