By the late 1930s, the principles of Streamline Moderne and European modern architecture had infiltrated American practice. This house, located in the Mrs. M. D. Oliver-Eakle Addition, fuses influences of these two modes, a characteristic of Macon O. Carder’s work. The two-story, flat-roofed house combines horizontal flow lines and rounded corners with wraparound windows and a roof deck. Macon Otto Carder (1894–1970) was born in Arkansas and trained in architecture in Dallas. He served with the Army Corps of Engineers during World War I and opened his Amarillo office in 1926 to work on the Capitol Hotel (demolished).
