Lovell Health House

Modernist architecture specialist Crosby Doe presents the classic Neutra house in vintage and contemporary photos.

The upholstered seat hiding behind the fireplace is an apparently illogical allusion to Wright's inglenook, anticipating (equally illogically) the Usonian bench seat ?

The light fixture in the wall between the faux inglenook and stair (photos 2-5), like the one at the Von Sternberg House, was a headlamp from an automobile.
