How did I not know about this? Thanks for the tip, @_jason_tracy. “Designed in 1939 by #WalterGropius and #MarcelBreuer as a private residence for Pittsburgh’s Cecelia and Robert Frank, the Alan I W Frank house is an architectural tour de force that not many people have had the privilege to see. The largest residential commission for Gropius and Breuer, the house also is one of the most intact and complete examples of their work. True to their Bauhaus ‘total work of art’ philosophy, Gropius and Breuer designed every part of the 17,000-square-foot house and its site, including furniture, fabrics, cabinets, mechanical systems, landscaping, and an ahead-of-its-time green roof. Alan I W Frank, Cecelia and Robert’s youngest child who lives in and owns the house, currently is devoting much of his time and resources into restoring the house and building a foundation to provide for its care well into the future.”
