In honor of Walter Gropius' 125th birthday...

[randomness]

...Google put this image up on its homepage:



which inspired bedfull_o_books to go to the house he designed in 1937 and had built in Lincoln:



We went on the hour guided tour. The house is kept as it was, furnished with some of the family's belongings, and you get to see nearly all of it.

I should build that in the Sims 2!

If you go to the house during the hours it's open, you can pick up a photocopied sheet with the layout of the house, for free.

I thought about picking up a copy but didn't want the extra paperwork around the house, but it's possible it might also be online somewhere.

"The next one she married was Gropius
And soon she was swinging with Walter
Gus died and her teardrops were copious
She cried all the way to the altar

But he would work late at the Bauhaus
And only came home now and then
She said, 'Vat am I running? A chowhouse?
It's time to change partners again!'

Alma, tell us
All modern women are jealous
Though you didn't even use Pond's
You got Gustav and Walter and Franz!"

Sweet! Did you take interior pictures? Missed you this weekend, esp. Friday & Saturday.

And it is such an improvement from the last song I had stuck in my head, which I won't name so as not to infect anyone else.

They don't allow interior photography, alas.

I'm sorry I didn't get to see you! I thought you would be at the concert, but I must have been confused as to the night. :(
