445 Christmas Tree Drive / Safford House / Architect: William Smith / Style: Frank Lloyd Wright ‘Usonian’ / built 1956
The house was designed by architect William Smith in the style of Frank Lloyd Wright for the Safford family in 1956. It has broad overhanging roof eaves, exposed rafters, vertical wood plank siding, and sandstone accent walls. The design takes advantage of its sloping site with the garage below and the living areas above. There was a bonus wing with a swimming pool that was demolished in 2025 to make way for a large addition.
