DescriptionHouses in the "Western Area" of the Los Alamos, New Mexico, housing area. The single-story ranch-style homes have flat roofs, casement windows, and landscaping in the front yards. A car is parked in a driveway of a home with an adult and a child near it. There are pine-tree covered mountains in the background. A typed caption attached to the photograph reads, "Typical of the simple, modern design employed throughout Los Alamos, New Mexico, are these Western Area houses with their definitely Southwestern flavor."
