If you don't know this house, it is an architectural gem, the prize of much of the Mies van der Rohe work in the Chicago area,
visited
by architecture and fans of art from all over the world.
It embodies all the design principles championed by van der Rohe, in a footprint smaller than any buildings he designed, to my knowledge the only private house.
The house was commissioned by a Chicago woman, Dr. Farnsworth.
She met Mies at a dinner party in the city and she commissioned van der Rohe to build this house for her.
Some docents will tell the story of an affair between the two...
whether or not that's true I don't know, but the relationship soured.
Cost overruns, delays in construction, you name it.
They wound up in court.
The building was completed in the early 1950s and cost many, many multiples of the typical tract homes at the time, which believe it or not were smaller than this elegant gem.
It is visited by architecture fans from all over the world--the last time I went I was the only English-speaking person on the tour.
This piece captures all 4 seasons at the precious house...yours to enjoy every day.
