The Glass House

I wrote earlier about the Octagon house, and now I want to visit the Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut. The transparent building was the private home of American architect Philip Johnson, built in 1949. It's now part of the National Trust for Historic Preservation and its re-opening to the public aims to drive home the need to save modern architecture.

It's in New Canaan, which is just west of Norwalk. So not that close but not too far, either!
