Googie architecture, fading light...Encinitas California. This may nit be classic Googie as this is a residence not a business, but much googie looked like something other then what it was so... I think this is googie vernacular/whimsy.
"The origin of the name Googie dates to 1949, when architect John Lautner designed the coffee shop Googies, which had very distinctive architectural characteristics.[2] The name "Googie" had been a family nickname of Lillian Burton, the wife of the original owner, Mortimer Burton.[3] Googies was located at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Crescent Heights in Los Angeles but was demolished in the 1980s.[4] The name Googie remained as a rubric for the architectural style when editor Douglas Haskell of "House and Home" magazine and architectural photographer Julius Shulman were driving through Los Angeles one day. Haskell insisted on stopping the car upon seeing Googies and proclaimed. "This is Googie architecture."[2] He popularized the name after an article he wrote appeared in a 1952 edition of House and Home magazine."
