Design is fine. History is mine.

Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer, Ford House, Lincoln, 1939

Helen Storrow, a wealthy Boston-based supporter of modern art and architecture, financed four houses on Woods End Road in Lincoln, MA, including this house for the Harvard sociologist James Ford and his wife, Katherine Morrow Ford, an author and architectural editor at House and Garden.

While the house was attributed to the Gropius and Breuer partnership, Isabelle Hyman reports that Breuer did not contribute to its design.
