Residences
The Zidell House, designed in 1953 by the Austin-based architecture firm of Lundgren & Maurer, is the preeminent residential example of the Modernist movement in the town of Taylor, Texas. The house incorporates many tenets of the International style of architecture, including horizontal bands of windows, exposed columns or pilotis that allow the structure to hover over its site, and a juxtaposition of industrial materials, such as steel casement windows and columns, with organic materials such as concrete, stucco, stone, and wood. Unique in all of Taylor, the Zidell House was listed on the National Register of Historic 5/12/09.

Lundgren Residence, 4401 Deepwoods Drive (1974)
Lundgren residence was built in 1974. This home was originally in a Mediteranian Style with an orange barrel tile roof. Leonard Lundgren's wife Gene considered this her dream home with views off the back of the Texas Hill Country. The home was altered in 2011 in an effort by the present owners to reflect the architectural style used by Lundgren in his early designs. The original home had the unique feature of an atrium with a large Oak tree growing in the center of the home.
