Nov. 14, 2009, new CF3 members Lauren and John Young welcomed CF3'ers to come and share the excitement of their new home. The excitement of trying to figure out which one of the Dombar brothers designed it in 1954. Actually, Lauren said, "We don't know if either of the Dombar Bros. are behind this house. Some have suggested it. It's a great house -- we've been here 4 years, and the mystery still continues!" Dr. Andrew Weiss commissioned the home in 1954 after he returned from a visit to Japan. He liked a home he had seen in Japan and wanted to recreate it here in Wyoming. The home features custom veneer stains to the woodwork and transom windows through out. Lauren and John enjoy the open plan design and the sheltered courtyard in the back. The home is one of two modern designs in on the street. Photos by Chuck Lohre. At the event Lauren reported that the son of Dr. Weiss had called her earlier with the designer architect, Walter Sheblessy. Susan Rissover added that Sheblessy also designed and built the homes on Morning Star Dr. in Clifton. From John Young,
Lauren and I did a little research and found a bit more about Sheblessy who did a lot of work in Clifton. Turns out he and Dr. Weiss (first owner of our house) probably knew each other from both being from Northside and attending Hughes High School. Both also served in WWII. His father was a famous architect in the region. Anyway, here's a bit about him: Wally was born Walter Frederick Sheblessy on 2/26/1910 on Berger Hill in Cincinnati, OH. Walter was the son of (pretty famous) John F Sheblessy (1873-1939). Wally married Jean Anne Nerple on 8/17/1940. Wally received his Bachlor of Science degree in Architecture from the University of Cincinnati. Then he earned his Masters Degree from Massachusets Institute of Technology. He practiced architecture in Cincinnati. |

Mary and David were great hosts and all of the CF3 members that came got a real treat. The Nilands were offered a donation to the charity of their choice but David only requested that we keep up the good work with CF3 and make the donation to the group.
I also got a chance to thank Dawn Schwartzman, of Enriching Designs, for their donation of the printing of our recent poster additions for the traveling display.

This 3,000-sq.-ft modern was originally designed for Dick and Jean (Hausfeld) Kluener in 1960 as their "get away" house in Green Township. From the winding 500-ft. drive through the woods, enter this well-preserved three bedroom, 3 1/2 bath home owned by Ed and Janet Hermes since 1994. From there, it's only a few steps to the sunken bar and the koi pond among other fun architectural features in this 3,000-sq.-ft. residence that would make a great home for Bond. James Bond. 
Set into a hillside, the home’s kitchen and large living area anchor two sides of an expansive yard overlooking the entrance. In its day, though little is known about the architect or builder, the home did have a reputation as a party house! Over the past 15 years, Ed and Janet have performed sensitive updates such as the addition of a mirror-image garage as well as extensive landscaping on the near three-acre site.
Consider carpooling … at least up the looooong driveway … there’s room for just 10 cars at the top!
