Ranch-Style Rebirth

Tucked away in a quiet corner of the Lakeridge subdivision is Mason White’s 1978 ranch-style home. When you think about 1970s architecture, it is possible you imagine drab colors or maybe even the heaviness of multiple shades of brown. You probably envision a look with low horizontal lines and an overall mundane style. In reality, much of the influence of 70s architecture was a back-to-nature trend that catapulted from the hippie movement, the 1973 oil crisis, and other world events.

Good Evening TXK September 2023
