(completed in 1949) <br /><br />It's true, it's completely derivative of Mies van der Rohe whose Farnsworth House, though begun in advance of the GH took longer to build.

I believe the FH was built on a flood plain and had to be somewhat elevated above the ground.Sarah Sargenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12258179031658308260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640712060176927259.post-40079044636851121832011-01-23T09:21:43.954-08:002011-01-23T09:21:43.954-08:00It's remarkable that an 80-year old house can ...It's remarkable that an 80-year old house can look so contemporary.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032622931920902364noreply@blogger.com
