Description and Narrative:
The Philip C. Heiden House is significant as an excellent and rare residential example of the Streamline Moderne Style in Lake City. Designed by Heiden in 1938, the small house embodies the basic tenants of Streamline Moderne architecture, including the flat roof, smooth exterior render, and soft, rounded corners. Horizontality is highlighted throughout the building by bands of ceramic glazed tiles and metal casement corner windows set within wide openings. These architectural features celebrate the aerodynamic design principles of the Streamline Moderne and create a distinctive street-front façade. Select nautical motifs such as porthole windows are incorporated throughout the house. Streamline Modern design is more commonly expressed in commercial buildings throughout the state and the use of this style for residential construction is unusual and rare in a small town in the rural Pee Dee region. The house and its detached one-car garage retain excellent integrity and the original 1938 design remains largely intact throughout the interior and exterior.
