Mid2Mod: screen-block walls

Screen-block walls

One of my favorite mid-century home features is the screen-block wall, which probably originated in Palm Springs in the 1950s. The construction was not only decorative, but it was also practical, as it let in light and a breeze.

I would love to incorporate one of these walls in my back yard, and the photos of these homes certainly provide inspiration.
