In their book, Concrete Screen Block: the Power of Pattern, Ron and Barbara Marshall have painstakingly charted nearly 250 original screen block patterns from the mid-century. Most of them, unfortunately, are not in production today.
Using the Marshalls' book as a guide, we've pinpointed ten stylish patterns from the era complementary to the design of MCM homes that are currently available from suppliers in the continental U.S. They are posted below along with their respective sources.
For additional patterns and information, please refer to the Marshalls' study.
