Via bookofjoe comes this USA Today article about the famous Glass House designed by architect Philip Johnson.
The Glass House will be open to the public beginning this summer, beginning with a gala grand opening in late June (preview dates are already available). Johnson, who actually lived in the house, had always intended the Glass House to be open to the public. He died in 2005, and plans have been underway ever since, including some restoration work to the accompanying Brick House.
The house is located in New Canaan, Connecticut, which is close enough to me to consider a trip down to see it, especially if we could combine it with some other points of interest or a visit to some friends.
