Wright’s influence on Abrom Dombar is evident in his designs for the Dahlman house which boasted sweeping planes and large Wright’s influence on Abrom Dombar is evident in his designs for the Dahlman house.spans of windows. At the time of its completion in 1952, Mr. and Mrs. Dahlman purchased various pieces to furnish their home, including works by George Nelson & Associates, Charles and Ray Eames and Hendrick Van Keppel and Taylor Green. The kitchen and bathroom were featured in period advertisements for Formica - one advertisement illustrating the home’s blush-colored kitchen also shows the Dahlman’s original dining set, offered here.
This selection of period furnishings has remained together in the home since they were purchased in the early 1950s.
