Note:

As noted in https://usmodernist.org/matsumoto.htm, the clean-lined modernist residence was built for Milton Julian, proprietor of a Chapel Hill clothing store and uncle to international designer Alexander Julian. The owner had to go to court to overcome neighborhood opposition to the modernist design in a neighborhood where more traditional designs had been the rule.
