Series 1: John W. Geiger
House for Mr. and Mrs. Ron Applin
Playa del Rey, California (1961)
John W. Geiger, architect
Documentation consists of a presentation rendering, a set of working drawings, and exterior photographs. Original house was designed and constructed in 1961, with later alterations. Records carry an assigned project number of "6109." In a usage found in some architectural offices, that would indicate the 9th project number for the year 1961. As of April, 2010, the last visit to the site by John Geiger, the original appearance of the house had been remodeled out of existence.
