Live in the "Urban" Glass House

Live in the "Urban" Glass House

Take a close look at these two pictures to see if you notice anything similar about the basic design.

Of course the one on the left is architect Philip Johnson's famous Glass House in New Canaan. The one on the right is considered Philip Johnson's very last design before he died, 330 Spring Street in New York City. 

Click here for a look back at my tour of the Glass House, as well as some of Philip Johnson's architecture around the country.

Several units are available at 330 Spring Street. You can contact Core Group NYC for more information. In my last blog posting, I wrote about Trump Parc Stamford. From unit 11A at 330 Spring, you can see Trump Soho, which is also under construction. I was lucky enough to get a tour of 330 Spring this past weekend. Below are more views from that unit. As usual, click to enlarge.

  

From another unit at 330 Spring, can see the Statue of Liberty.

On a historical note, 330 Spring sits on the line that marks the old shore line of the Hudson River and New York City.

The area was filled in with rocks so boats could unload.  The Urban Glass House is next door to Ear Inn, what New York Magazine says is "arguably the oldest bar in Manhattan."
