Quoting Rebecca Elliot <[log in to unmask]>:

> Another one to add to your list is Saarinen House. It was designed and built
> between 1928 and 1930 and has been restored to the mid-1930s. It was the
> home of Finnish-American architect Eliel Saarinen (who also designed it) and
> his wife Loja (also Finnish-American), a textile designer. Saarinen House is
> operated by Cranbrook Art Museum and is on the campus of Cranbrook
> Educational Community in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Cranbrook encompasses a
> K-12 private school, an MFA program in art and architecture, a science
> institute, and the art museum. Most of Cranbrook's buildings were designed by
> Eliel Saarinen, who also formulated the MFA program (Cranbrook Academy of
> Art) and served as its first president and head of its architecture program.
>
> Saarinen House is an exemplar of Saarinen's design philosophy, which
> emphasized unity among design elements; and his style, which grew out of
> Finnish tradition, the Arts and Crafts Movement, and Art Deco.
>
> More information can be found by going to www.cranbrook.edu and following
> the links for the art museum and then Saarinen House.
