Philip Johnson's First House Coming Up For Sale

When, a couple years ago, I first heard from one of the owners of Philip Johnson's first post-grad project we talked about a trip to the house. Schedules being what they are that trip has never taken place.

Now the same contact has let it be known that the house is going on the market. Believe me, if I had the money and could convince the wife and daughter that moving father away from friends and work would be a good idea I'd snap it up in a heart beat.

The home was originally designed and built in 1946 as a home for an advertising executive but was acquired by noted architectural photographer  Robert Damora in 1955 and his family has lived there ever since. Here are an article on Modern Magazine about the house and the listing page for the house (with great pictures).

Let's help the owners find buyer who is sensitive to what they are buying.
