Saturday is Modern House Day 2011 : Seeing Modern in New Canaan

The New Canaan Historical Society still has some tickets left for the Modern House Day Tour and Symposium. The full-day event is this Saturday, the 14th. Here is a description of the program and some info on the houses on the tour.

We will be working as bus docents during the tour, and our daughter, Elie, will be on duty as a house docent at the Smallen House, with our old friend John Black Lee as house architect. John will be there to answer questions not just about the Smallen house and his own house, Lee House 2 which is also on the tour, but to spontaneously regale attendees with great stories and inside tidbits from his long and deep experiences as one of the original Modern architects of New Canaan.

Join us! Call 203 966 1776 for tickets – you have to register and buy a ticket as walk-ins are not allowed. – GF
