Glad to hear the realization was equal to the anticipation. Must be great to see the house and furniture and you all united at last! Wishing you many more blissful visits to the new home.

Having lived in NY and visited the building countless times over the last 30 years I can't imagine that anyone would have seriously considered changing the color to PINK!

No, not my own photos. I found this guy's stream on Flickr (Formwerks) and his great photos have taken me all around LA and into many houses that are seldom seen. He often focuses on smaller details.

There is a copy in the UCLA Arts Library (at ht...

So does anyone know the asking price? Interesting how it states that furniture might possibly be included in the sales price.

I have long considered the Presburger house to be Schindler's "Case Study House" despite the fact that he was never asked to design for the program. Unlike most of the houses for that program, this one was actually built on a budget comparable to a "builder's" house. What makes t...
