Designed as a residence for architects William and George Fred Keck and
professor Louis Gottschalk, this three-flat is one of the city's
earliest examples of modern architecture that was associated with the
International Style. Its living floors are placed above a three-car
garage, and the external blinds over the front windows demonstrate the
architects' lifelong commitment to innovation, particularly in the field
of solar design. |
