The house is still there. It turns up on Redfin which states that it was built in 1955 so photographed right after it was built though whether for the architects or the owners I don’t know. These images (and more with them, 22 in all) are archived as part of a collection of Dearborn-Massar photographs. They were professional architectural photographers in the Pacific Northwest during the period 1943-1963.
With some of these the bedrooms and bathrooms weren’t photographed because they were private spaces as opposed to patio bars, carports and living rooms. I expect that is why there are no photographs of them.

The Lunts themselves had no connection with Bryn Mawr. However, American playwright and theatrical producer Theresa Helburn (1887-1959) was a graduate of Bryn Mawr College class of 1908. Helburn had a long and distinguished career on Broadway and was a co-founder and producer of the New York Theatre Guild from 1919 to the 1950s. This collection includes over 1100 photographs related to Helburn’s work on behalf of the Theatre Guild. Which explains why these photographs have ended up in the archives of a college located outside Philadelphia.
There are lots more watercolors that I haven’t used yet, 12 screens in all and I’ve gotten halfway through the second one. I wish I could say I found these by myself but I found the watercolorist mentioned on the Streets of Salem blog which is a history blog but she finds some great pictures.
