Walter Gropius
|
Walter Gropius (1883-1969) was a celebrated German architect and teacher, founder of the school of design known as the Bauhaus in Germany, and a leading proponent of modern architecture. This house was his first architectural commission in the United States, built in 1938 as his family home after coming here to teach at Harvard's Graduate School of Design. This was Walter Gropius's home from 1938 until his death in 1969.
Restoration of the Gropius House is being supported in part by a Save
America's Treasures grant administered by the National Park Service,
Department of the Interior. The project encompasses repairs to the south and
west elevations and replanting of the orchard and meadow. The Gropius House
is a National Historic Landmark. |
