Just curious in that I am in an expensive store and everything looks too precious and there are no price tags and I am too scared to ask kind of way.
FROM:
The Cabin: Inspiration for
the Classic American
Getaway
By Dale Mulfinger and
Susan E. Davis
Taunton Press, 2001, hardcover,
256 pp., $34.95
Review by Enrique Olivarez, Jr.:
A remarkable example of how an architect can help transform
the basic form is Breuer’s cabin for artist Sidney
Wolfson. In 1949 Wolfson commissioned Breuer to marry
his classic, silver 1930s Spartan trailer with a modernistic,
cantilevered box. The resulting structure is a curious and eccentric
reinterpretation of the cabin form, with a galley, eating,
and personal spaces located in the trailer. Breuer fused a
screened porch and a living room, complete with a doublesided
fireplace, to the trailer, creating a cabin that is open and
livable. Sparsely appointed with modern furniture, it feels like
an urban dwelling rather than a rural one.
Reading about these cabins gives the reader hope that
someday he, too, will happen upon a cabin for sale, see its
potential, and transform it into a space that is both comfortable
and charming."
It seems to have been on the market a long time.
