The house by Leon Lee at 7 Hollow Glen looks to be influenced more directly by E. Fay Jones than by FLLW.....a very neat house. The blurb indicates Lee worked with Karl Kamrath at some point.

The Lee house is handsome, but for the quality of the stone work. Better are the two MCM houses, the Nichols house in Dallas (images 14ff) with the pink Cadillac and Big Boy statue, and the Coleman house in Austin (38ff). The kitsch of the 50s was fun then, and still is.
