500 Glenn Road
1950
Brice and Loring S. Harris
The architectural lineage of the Harris House is somewhat uncertain, although attributed to Hajjar. (NOTE: Recent research suggests that this house may have been designed by Kenneth Heidrich.) If Hajjar-designed, this would be his first undertaking in State College. It also appears to have had several modifications over the years since initial construction. The windows and low roof are typical of later Hajjar designs, as are the naturally-lit entry and small balcony for light and ventilation.
The end of the house is hidden in the woods as viewed from the entry drive. The original house address was 414 Martin Terrace.
The back of the house faces Glenn Road as it bends downhill. The upper-level balcony with sliding-glass door is a typical Hajjar treatment, but the balcony railing is not and is likely a replacement.
