It was listed for sale at 5.5 million, a price that may be high enough to keep it from being knocked down, as is the sad norm in Connecticut. But if it does, at least we'll always have these photos.

Ulrich Franzen's Dana House, New Caanan, 1964 (wow)
These photos are from the Trulia listing I stumbled upon while architecture-hunting in New Canaan, Ct. Built in 1964, it looks like it was furnished around the same time with an impressively vast amount of Aalto, Breuer, and Bertoia, and then really not much new added after that (why mess with perfection?) Highlights of the non-obvious include the VW Van outside, the duck, and the green oven hood, which looks like a sculpture itself. Also the needlepoint violet pillow and the 18th century portrait- it's nice to see that this isn't staged, but the this is how they lived.

Why design another chair?
Selections from the 1977 American Institute of Architects International Chair Design Competition. There's absolutely no need for more chair designs in the world; nonetheless this does make me want to get out a pencil and join in.
From "Chair" by Peter Bradford and Barbara Prete (1978)- which, if you're into chairs....

Ah fixed that chaiah
Yard sale: 1962 Eames chair from an old Mainer estate with then-practical-/now-frustrating drain hole drilled into the seat.
I really don't mind though- it adds context and reminds you that these things were not made to be precious. Plus now we can keep it outside.
