Thanks RG. Really always appreciate your detailed level of knowledge on this board. The top picture on the ArchRecord article was the fist time I'd ever seen the torchiere through the aperture of that famous elevation. It seemed to help me better understand the "reason for being" of the li...

From the top picture in the ArchRecord article it looks like that interior columned sconce is centered on the elevation - never realized that before, will need to check plans and see. Cool. .... it's a relationship, in any case, I've never noticed in this house before.

Impeccable graphic design, I've always wanted to own a set.

I appreciate this comparison. You are obviously right about their relation. Can you post plans?

He's experimenting in these houses don't you think? Looking for newer combinations and pathways, maybe not yet fully coherent as in his grand slams and home runs.

Interesting comparison.
Steel Mullions at Neils? That seems quite a break for the old man.

Glore owes some to Mossberg it seems as well:
