While searching for a small, well-designed contemporary home for her growing family in Seattle, Anna was introduced to John Burrows, a contractor who specialized in smaller, modern-style homes on difficult lots," [Larry E.] Johnson writes. "John had moved to the Seattle area from Los Angeles, where he had absorbed the modern-style aesthetic of architects such as William Wooster, Richard Neutra, John Dinwiddie, Joseph Esherick Jr. and Gordon Drake. Anna had already developed individual ideas for a practical small family home and hired Burrows in 1961 to construct a house for her based on her preliminary plans. This project led to several years of collaboration, with Anna preparing house plans and John building them. They sought out steep wooded lots that had been passed over by other builders and marketed the completed homes to young educated couples looking for contemporary styling.
