Milo Baughman
MILO BAUGHMAN \bȯf-man\ (1923-2003) As a young man living in Long Beach, California, Milo demonstrated a high-spirited, creative flair, especially for the visual arts. When he was thirteen, his parents decided to build a house. So Milo’s parents challenged him to develop an architectural plan for the interior and exterior of the home. His parents constructed the house Milo designed, and they lived in it for 34 years. Baughman graduated high school in 1941, then served in the Army Air Forces until 1945. After the war, he attended California Institute for the Arts, majoring in Product and Architectural Design.
