1930's - Five houses in Highland Park IL.  No photos.

1951 - The Martha and Wilbur Lee (Bo) Carter, Jr. Residence, 1012 Country Club Drive, Greensboro NC.  This is the first Modernist house in the area.  Loewenstein incorporated passive solar heating in the "solar cell" room on the south side. The room originally had a glass roof, sheltered in summer by two mature trees. In winter, without leaves on the trees, the sun could warm the room. A few years after construction, the trees died and were removed. The room got much too hot without the trees so the glass roof was replaced with a conventional roof. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. Won an AIANC design award in 1950-51. Featured in Architectural Record 1952-53.  Current owners are Daniel and Kathy Craft.

Twenty-three female students designed a house, oversaw its construction, and decorated the resulting structure, dubbed the "Commencement House" by the University's public relations office. 

The Greensboro Daily News proclaimed the house "as modern as tomorrow," hailing the women who designed it as pioneers, reporting that "they are the first pupils outside the schools of architecture to attempt the complete designing and building of a house." At its May 1958 dedication, covered by the newspaper and broadcast on WUNC-TV, North Carolina First Lady Mrs. Luther Hodges, herself an alumna of Woman's College, cut the ribbon on the house.
