Commentary
"Designed in 1950 and largely owner-built over a period of four years...the house was described by Goff at its first major open house as 'a continuing study in contemporary architecture'. Spatial and temporal continuities are its theme."
—Jeffrey Cook. The Architecture of Bruce Goff. New York: Harper & Row, 1978. p46.
