HISTORY/ARCHITECTURE

This Mid Century Modern Wallingford, PA home in the suburbs of Philadelphia was designed in 1958 by Philadelphia architect Irwin Stein (born 1930) for The Wachs Family. Stein studied under Paul Rudolph at the University of Pennsylvania and worked in the office of notable modern architects Oscar Stonorov and Frank Weiss. Dr. Wachs, a dentist, was beginning his career and commissioned Stein to build a 2-bedroom house with attached dental office. Nearly a decade later, the Wachs family had expanded ? and Dr. and Mrs. Wachs once again turned to Stein to design an addition to the home. The home's second owners were also fans of the mid-century style and the ownership of this home inspired an interior design and mid-century furniture sales business. The third and current owners of the home are an artist and real estate professional who have spent much of their lives restoring vintage homes in Los Angeles. They are honored to have been a part of further restoring this impressive home.
