From the Zillow listing:
Rare opportunity to buy the Mid-Century home Henry L. Kamphoefner designed for himself while serving as the Chairman of the School of Architecture at the University of Oklahoma. Located just a few blocks from the OU campus, this house combines redwood, flagstone, and plenty of windows in an L-shaped design. “Careful thought was given to the sun’s habits in this region, and roof overhangs were designed to keep it under advantageous control.” One entire wall of the living room is made up of floor-to ceiling windows. There is a gorgeous stone fireplace with two openings, one faces the office area and the other faces the living room. There is a unique wood block divider as you enter the home. “The story that has passed from one owner to the next is that the dividers like this are a Kamphoefner trademark. The three columns on this one indicate the three stories of the home – the basement level study, the main floor, and the upper level bedroom. “ When Frank Lloyd Wright visited Norman in 1946, he actually stayed in one of these bedrooms!
