The DeLeeuw Residence is crisp, clean mid-century modern architecture at its very best.

Commissioned in 1964 by Carl M. DeLeeuw, a World War II veteran and noted recipient of both the Medal of Honour and a Bronze Star during the war, the home was intended as a place for the war hero and his family to settle down.

The Southern California-based architects who designed the place, John H. Remington and Leroy A. Young were responsible for several mid-century modern homes that still stand in Los Angeles and the surrounding area. However, this house is one of the best works to come out of the collaboration.
