Letter: Glass House Has Been a Responsible, Responsive Steward and Community Member
|
Dear Editor,
I write this letter in support of Philip Johnson’s Glass House and its application to modify the Special Operating Permit that regulates the site’s activities. I have had the great privilege of working for the National Trust for Historic Preservation at the Glass House site for the past five years alongside a talented, energetic team dedicated to the preservation and stewardship of this site while honoring the privacy of our residential neighbors. My family has resided in New Canaan since 1994 and I have a keen interest in preserving the extraordinary quality of life here. New Canaan is uniquely rich in examples of modern architecture with some of the most celebrated architects of our time designing and building here. The Philip Johnson Glass House is an icon of American architecture and a national treasure that New Canaanites are fortunate to call our own.
