Known as the Alamo House, this unique residence in San Antonio, Texas, was originally designed in 1928 and got a redesign by Phil Lloyd Shoop in the ’50s, making it a kind of Midcentury Frankenstein of a home—but it works.
Located in the historic Monticello neighborhood, the 2,778-square-footer boasts an incredible facade of stone and wood (and a groovy red front door), and these materials make up some of the interiors as well.
