Nielsen and his wife were immigrants from Denmark and the home is quintessentially representative of Mid-Century Modern architecture. As a representation of Mid-Century Modern Architecture, the home features ribbon windows, soffit lighting, built in units, a flat roof and multiple sputnik light fixtures.
