About Bailey House (Case Study House #21)

While the experimental nature of the Bailey House design and its steel-frame construction was revolutionary when it was built, wear and ground settlement over time led to damage in the foundation that risked impairment to the building itself. As part of the structural retrofit, existing foundation slab was demolished, which required removal of the existing interior walls, fixtures, and windows. Original steel framing, roof, and walls at the east and west elevations were retained in place and were repaired or replaced in-kind, as necessary. Steel fixed and sliding sash were restored with new glazing on the north and south elevations. New helical anchors were installed to stabilize the foundation at existing and new grade beams with new poured-in-placed concrete slab. The interior walls and fixtures were then carefully reconstructed based on historic documentation to maintain the original design of the house while also improving living conditions for contemporary use.
