Fred Hollingsworth… Canada’s answer to Frank Lloyd Wright

Every once in awhile I happen upon a MCM gem I feel compelled to share. This week it is Creek House, designed in 1950 by Fred Hollingsworth, Canada’s answer to Frank Lloyd Wright. Still in the family of the original owners, it is stunning in its simplicity and its wooded setting near a creek. It was heavily published in the 1954 issue of Western Homes and Living, and both Canadian Homes & Gardens and The Book of Homes in 1953.

West Coast Modern tells the story of this North Vancouver classic well… including history and photos then and now. It is available for sale for about $1.4 million.

Tucked away in a serene, natural setting, Creek House is a hidden classic awaiting its next custodians.
