150 WARING, Memphis, TN 38117 - Shelby County

Designed by the father of modernism in Memphis, A. L. Aydelott, as his personal home and completed in 1961. Described as a "manifesto" against traditional Southern architecture, the house stands out with its hyperbolic paraboloid roof, supported at each corner, freeing the interior for soaring ceilings. The home’s woodwork, terrazzo, and brick floors are well-preserved, thanks to one family’s ownership since 1980. Along with generous entertaining spaces, the main house has a spacious primary suite, guest suite, and a lofted den with fireplace. The original steel pergola was enclosed to create the sunny breakfast room and add additional kitchen and pantry space. Custom cabinetry there was designed to match the original St Charles kitchen cabinets. The guest house with private entrance is complete with kitchen, bath, dining, living, and bedroom. The extensive grounds feature a gunite pool, pergola, terraces, and specimen trees. This home is a landmark you must see for yourself.
