The Starkey House, also known as the Alworth House, is a residence in Duluth, Minnesota, United States, overlooking Lake Superior. The house was designed by modernist architect Marcel Breuer in 1954 and 1955 for June Halverson Starkey (née Alworth).[1] The building's design references Breuer's hallmark bi-nuclear plan, in which sleeping and living spaces are linked through the home's entrance.[2] The house was commissioned by June Halvorson Alworth, a widow who later married Robert Starkey.[3]
Structure
The house consisted of two large, rectangular volumes of unequal size while were on the side of a hill. They were supported by wood columns and laminated girders. One contained the bedrooms and children's playroom while the other contained the open-plan living and dining rooms. The upper floor of the house had board-and-batten siding, while the facades facing the lake featured large expanses of windows shielded by glass sunshades. A separate volume constructed of fieldstone and painted brick contained the garage.[3]
