My Houzz: A Paean to the 1950s and '60s in Pennsylvania

A wonderfully unique feature to the house is a screen in Bobbie's office that opens up to view the living room below. Simply constructed of frosted plexi-glass and wood, the screen reflects the roof line and continues to filter light even when closed. This concept is repeated in the master bedroom as well. As the two terraces face each other from across the living room, it leads Bobbie to believe that this room was once a nursery, with the screens acting as primitive baby monitors. "The parents could go to sleep with each set of screens open and hear whatever was stirring in the nursery," Bobbie speculates.
