Called the Shaw House, this Lake Oswego home was designed by Yeon and built in 1951 for Lawrence Shaw, owner of the Modoc Lumber Company. In 1953, it made the cover of House Beautiful magazine, which declared it "the architecture of the next America." Sixty years later, it was in poor shape, with signs of dry rot and water damage. Sitting on a generous 0.61-acre lot, it was also under threat of being torn down in favor of splitting the property in two.
