Note:

When Ruth Price, a physical education instructor at UNC, hired Jim and John Webb to design her house, she had a tight budget and a small, steep, and wooded lot. The Webbs designed a compact house with vertical wood siding inside and out and exposed post-and-beam framework on the interior. According to the NCModernist website, Jim Webb bought the house in 1979 and lived there until his death.
