Back of pizza oven w more theater spolia.

Thanks! I’m familiar with the house and w William Wesley Peters but have never seen it in person. My architects had built the FLW Armstrong House in Ogden Dunes IN before getting the commission. They were 27, 19 and 19 years old at the time.

View out to our kitchen patio. Joe built the wood fire oven using spolia found on the property, remnants of an old theater that had been demolished. #architecture #outdoorliving #woodfireoven #spolia
