Overview

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 room, 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 mirror the original St Charles kitchen cabinets. The guest house, originally a home office, is now complete with kitchen, bath, dining, living, and bedroom. The extensive grounds feature a pool, pergola, fountain, and specimen trees. This home is a landmark you must see for yourself.
