The van stopped just past the entrance gate so we could walk to The Glass House.
To our left we could see Philip Johnson's studio/library as we walked down the drive.
The Sculpture Gallery ceiling is all skylights which cast interesting shadows on sunny days. I am glad we visited on a cloudy day without the distraction of shadow patterns all over the space.
This view shows The rear of The Brick House on the left, The Glass House in the background, and the pool on the right.
Here's our group looking down at the pond.
A good view of the Pavilion on the pond and the towering Lincoln Kerstein Tower looking west from The Glass House.
This round “silo” in The Glass House has a fireplace on one side and the bathroom on the other.
The kitchen is small and not good for serious cooking.
The bathroom is functional with a toilet, sink, and a shower
The dining room faces east.
The Nicolas Poussin painting is displayed in the seating area. Philip was originally a History and Classics scholar before he became an architect.
Ellen and I even had some time to look around the charming center of New Canaan and our group had lunch together at La Pain Quotidien before heading home. All in all it was a very enjoyable day,
