Thank you, Tom---very helpful, and lots of yummy photos of Kahn work.

I don't think I had seen the Korman house previously.

I see you're on to DIVISARE.
Nice operation they've got going.
They might have chosen to shoot Korman in B&W because the wood was in such terrible shape.

Nice video, much appreciated.

Korman House website. Full construction documents and design documents under History tab.
And some more good video too.

Oh, that should be fun. Kahn is one of a few Americans to build with unfinished oak exteriors. The photos show both weathered and (re ?)finished wood. One wonders what the architect recommended for maintenance.
