Living in an Icon
I often think about what it would be like to live in an iconic or historically important modernist home. When I lived in Minnesota, I would routinely drive past a Frank Lloyd Wright "Usonian" house not too far from my apartment just to daydream a bit. But for some people, these dreams are reality. Take for instance Bruce, Sharon and Mark Stahl, who grew up living in Pierre Koenig's Case Study House No. 22 in the Hollywood Hills. While I would be awestruck to even visit such a landmark of Modern architecture, the Stahl kids just thought of it as "home." And isn't that exactly what a house is supposed to be?

Scott commented: Thanks Robert! That would be a fantastic place for a weekend getaway. In fact, we were looking for somewhere interesting to go for my next birthday (it's a big one) in September. Maybe this is it? You'll also need to fill me in on the decent malls in the area.

About the Archives ...
These news archives span back to Ars Longa's inception in August of 2004. Due to this longevity, many of the older posts may feature external links that have gone dead. Over time websites move pages and some even close shop altogether. I apologize for these inconsistencies, but in the interest in maintaining a full archive even entries whose links have expired will remain in place on Ars Longa.
