| Transcript | FLAMED FDR GRACIOUS LIVING G. A. FRASER The G. A. fraser home at 5114 Jackwood was skillfully planned for gracious living in the modern sense. The exterior is of pink Mexican brick veneer, Arkansas stone and redwood paneling. The large living room and den are divided by a stone planter box decorated with obscure glass. The den opens onto an outdoor living area that is enclosed on three sides and entirely covered. One wall of the living room is stone with adjoining plate glass overlooking the front planter box. A cased opening leads into the dining room, which also has a large plate glass and awning type window. Shadowed paneling covers the walls with redwood beamed ceiling. The den, kitchen and breakfast room follow the open planning arrangement, with a serving bar separating the three areas. The kitchen is equipped with Westinghouse built-ins, including dishwasher, deep freeze and refrigerator, oven and range and disposer. It also has all steel Geneva cabinets and Textolite drain boards. Bathroom fixtures in colors by American Standard. The service room is equipped with a table top electric hot water heater and combination washer and dryer by Westinghouse. The bedroom wing opens off the den with a hall to insure complete privacy. The master bedroom has a large glass sliding door to the outdoor living area and a master bathroom with built-in vanitory, square Restol tub and dressing area. Other features include a brick wall cooking area in the kitchen complete with fireplace, and Chrysler Airtemp air conditioning. Sewall paints are being used exclusively in the decoration scheme. The home was designed by Matt Howard, Jr., and is furnished by Pascoe- Houston. The awning type windows used throughout are by Air Control Products Co. Mr. Fraser has been in the building business for 25 years. A native of Houston, he has built in West University Place, South Side Place, Bellaire^ Bering Estates, and other areas.
