John and Alice Fullam House
The John and Alice Fullam Residence, designed in 1957 by modernist architect Paul Rudolph, is located in a rural part of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, in Wrightstown Township, approximately northwest of Newtown and west of the Delaware River.

The flagstone patio runs across the entire front of the house and extends beyond the exterior walls on both sides. Dramatic large
