Windemere

44th St and Indian School

Ralph Haver's Windemere homes of 1955 were marketed as the "Home for Southwest Living" where it was springtime every day of the year. All homes came standard with air conditioning; this probably explains the breezy marketing name of the subdivision. The homes are distinguished by their floor-to-ceiling picture windows surrounding an optional large chimney volume. Homes are 3 bedrooms with 1 3/4 bathrooms in roughly 1500 square feet of living space. Buyers had their choice of color for Youngstown steel kitchens and Formica countertops, plus choice of roof gravel color. Homes started at $11,100. Many homes stand in original condition today, while others have been updated and improved for modern living.
