On May 26th, 2012, SacMod — the folks who sponsor the Sacramento Mid-Century Modern Home Tour — hosted a tour of Pat’s Arden Oaks home to benefit the Ray Eames exhibit at the California Museum.
The Roush Residence, as it was known, was designed by architect Terry Waters and completed in 1954. Frank Lloyd Wright was among Waters’ mentors and his influence is prominent throughout the historic Sacramento home. Red steel beams support walls of glass to bring the outdoors in to illuminate the modernist open floor plan.
CBS’s Good Day Sacramento featured a video tour of Pat’s home to promote the benefit. Click the link below to see the three and a half minute clip.
