| Additional Information: | Built into a slight grade, this tri-level, Contemporary-style house is sheathed with both brick and board siding and is topped with a flat roof. Along the Green Links Drive facade, the remaining wall space features bands of casement windows along the basement, first and second floors. Both the north and south endwalls are brick and devoid of fenestration. The rear (west) elevation of the house consists of additional bands of casement windows and at least three levels of projecting balconies which are sheathed with board siding. Built in 1966 at an estimated cost of $25,000, this was the home of architect James William Pauers and his wife Esther (Dodd). The Pauers' had at least four children including Randy, Thomas, William and Mary. Although Esther died in 1982, James remained in the home until at least 1988; the next known owner was Robert McConnokie, who operated his own sales company from the home, known as McConn, Inc. |
