Re: “Menokin Makeover”
The Menokin Foundation has been studying the use of structural glass to reinterpret the missing exterior walls of the house, but the concept has not yet been executed. We're working with Machado and Silvetti on a design that's innovative, yet also feasible and fundable. The firm was hired only in February and we are now working on concept renderings. The remnants of the locust tree root in the back steps will certainly be a challenge which the preservation architects on the team will address. Keep updated on our progress through FB and our web site!

This is a 1990s photo taken by the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS). It's in the public domain and a high res image is available from the Library of Congress, along with all of the 1940s photos and measured drawings done by HABS. Go to:
