Robin House – White Settlement

This house was built by contractor Martin E. Robin and his partner Joe R. Condron as a residence for the Robin family. Architect Fred W. Murphee designed the house. Erected in 1941, it remains in the Robin family. This extraordinary onestory house features a smoothly stuccoed surface under a flat roof. The asymmetrical plan exhibits a doorway with curved canopy flanked by a projecting blocky wing to the east and a turret on the west. The unusual combination of Pueblo Revival and Modeme styles is visible in fine details such as grilles, fluted bands and receding parapet. An addition to the rear was constructed in 1952.
