PJ glass house New Canaan
The Pearlroth House of Westhampton Beach, New York, designed by Andrew Geller in 1959, will be demolished on May 27, 2005 unless it can be moved off the property to its new home at Pikes Beach, Dune Road!
Exhibitions International, historian/filmmaker Jake Gorst and the Town of Southampton are working together to rescue, relocate and restore this landmark house. It will become a museum of architecture and design if preservation efforts are successful.
The New York Observer named this beach house one of the top ten houses of the Hamptons. Architectural historian and writer for the New York Times and Dwell Magazine Alastair Gordon said, "Andrew Geller's Pearlroth House in Westhampton Beach is one of the most important examples of experimental design built during the postwar period - not just on Long Island but anywhere in the United States. It is witty, bold and inventive."
