The Aupperle Studio: The Arrow House
The Aupperle Studio is one of the houses in the district. It is also known as the "Arrow House." You can find it at 3950 S. 5th W. The house sits on a large piece of land, about 3.3 acres (1.3 ha).
This house has a very cool design. It is a single-story building but it is quite tall. It has an A-frame shape, which means its roof goes all the way down to the ground. The house is about 64 by 29 feet (19.5 m × 8.8 m) in size and stands 32 feet (9.8 m) high.
One interesting thing about the Aupperle Studio is the material it uses. It has a lot of "Cemento" or "Cemesto" material. This was a special building material used for its strength. It was made from a mix of cement and other materials. It was even used for the roof panels, which were 2 by 8 feet (0.61 m × 2.44 m) in size.
The Migel House: A Modern Home
The Migel House is another important building in the district. It is located at 4032 S. 5th W. This house shows off Art Troutner's modern design ideas.
The Poitevin House: Many Sides to See
The Ada Poitevin House is the third home in this historic district. It is found at 4012 S. 5th W. This house is quite unique because of its shape. It has, essentially, 16 sides! This makes it stand out from typical houses.
