Completed in 1952 under permit NB 1271-1951, this Mid-Twentieth-Century Modern house was designed by the engineer Samuel A. Knudsen for Mr. and Mrs. John M. Lore. It sits on a sloping, terraced lot with rock outcroppings and has asymmetrical fronts, large picture windows and no applied ornament. Brick, clapboard and fieldstone are used without imitating any historical revival style.
