The Frayser Bauhaus was originally built as a home and then later converted to medical offices. What would you like to see as the future of the Bauhaus? Home or business?

Max Millstead on the grill July 4th, 1947! Maxwell McCall Millstead (1905-1982) was a pharmacist who owned the Millstead Construction Company. He was a member of the Memphis Homebuilders Association, chariman and king of the Sphinx Crewe and a graduate of the University of Mississippi School of Pharmacy. He was married to Mayme L. Holland Millstead. The socially prominent Millstead also developed the Cherry Road Subdivision in East Memphis in the early 1950s. Millstead died in June 1982. Thank you to his niece Vickie Shackelford for sharing these family photos! #IndependenceDay #Happy4th

What an incredible find thanks to the niece of the original owner and builder! These photos are dated July 4, 1947. Records have shown that it was built between 1946 and 1948, but obviously completion was a little earlier than the 1948 stated in previous posts. These photos also confirm my assumptions from years of architectural archeology- the second floor of the North side (left) was originally an outdoor balcony. Also, the room behind the round living room that partially blocks those windows was an addition (photo #3). If you know of anyone who might have early photos of the interior of this property, please pass along! #InternationalStyle #StreamlineModerne #ArtModerne #ArtDecoArchitecture #Bauhaus #BauhausArchitecture #ModernHouses #ModernistArchitecture

Thank you for the post @thisplaceinhistory! Hopefully there are some original photos out there that will come our way soon! #Bauhaus #BauhausArchitecture #ArtModerne #InternationalStyle #ArtDecoArchitecture #Curvilinear #ModernHouses #ModernistArchitecture ******** This unique structure was built circa 1946, and the architect is unknown. The design was influenced by the Bauhaus modernist design of the post-World War II era. The AIA describes this place as Art Moderne and “the best example of the Bauhaus inspired International Style to be found in Memphis.” It was originally built as the home of Maxwell McCall Millstead, who developed a nearby subdivision, as well as the Cherry Road subdivision in East Memphis. The home later served as a doctor’s office. In order to finalize renovation plans, current owner @frayserbauhaus would love to find old photos of the house, particularly of its interior. Any cool cats attend a party at this pad? If so, hit me up daddy-o! 😎
