George L, Walling:

I honestly don’t know how many modern homes George L Walling designed as he was more known for Italian Renaissance Revival, but when he did modernism he did it well. Here’s a lovely little snippet about him I found:

From Austin: Its Architects and Architecture (1836-1986): Walling attended Kemper Military Institute class of 1919, UT Architecture through 1922. Worked with A.O. Watson and San Antonio architect Ralph H. Cameron in summers. Attended Fontainebleau School of Fine Arts in Paris in 1923. Opened his Austin practice at age 24. Joined National Park Service in 1933 in Omaha as a staff architect. Served with Federal Housing Administration, Washington, and in 1935 opened an office there with Horace Peasly. Designed several Austin projects during this time. Served in WWII with the US Navy in the civil engineer corps. Worked as a consultant with Fehr and Granger and with Lockwood Green in New York. After further naval service he returned to private practice in Austin. Retired 1967, spent 10 years in France, and lived in Austin until his death.
