This design, which represents one of the earliest works by internationally
recognized architect Bruce Goff, stands in pronounced contrast to
traditional residences of the period. Designed as the home and studio
for artist Charles Turzak and his family, it incorporated many features
that did not typically appear in residential architecture until more
than a decade later, including a carport, corner picture windows, and
overhanging balconies. Goff also designed the Bachman House, another
Chicago Landmark. |
