Yes.
Or maybe it's "Ezra" ?
The New York Times lets us down by failing to identify the seven buildings shown in the photographs. Anybody want to try naming all of them ?

Thanks, Heath
The ones I can identify are 1, 2, 5 and 6 --
1 - Marin County Civic Center -- FLLW
2 - Washington Dulles International Airport -- Eero Saarinen
5 - Glass House -- Philip Johnson
6 - Seagram Building -- Mies van der Rohe
That leaves 2, 3, and 7. Number 3 seems to be a house in Florida.

The early dates
of the Twitchell and Rudolph house in St Petersburg, and the Miami garage by Weed, are interesting. I see no autos in the garage photo newer than 1949 or 1950 -- the Ford and the Caddy on the left side of the photo.
Have you seen any of Rudolph's early work in Fla, Mark ?
Erica was a friend in high school. The Stoller house was a special place. She now lives in a conventional house in the same town. I guess Modern is a yawn if you grew up with it ?

Greetings SDR!
Aside from glancing at a couple of Paul Rudolph designed homes (in Sarasota) from the inside of a car, I did once tour the Riverside?? High School, that has since been demolished. And I'd sure like to see more. Palm Beach doesn't have many MCM structures. The only architects that get any respect on this island are Addison Mizner, John Volk, Marion Wyeth Simms, Joseph Urban, etc. We do have a Noguchi sculpture, a couple of Richard Meier dwellings, a (supposed) IM.Pei dwelling, a couple of Gwathmey dwellings, and also a Hugh Jacobsen or two. However, most sweet architecture is well hidden behind tall hedges..so maybe there is a treasure that I haven't yet discovered.
Best,
Mark

Thanks, Mark.
I don't get about the country much, so I'm at the mercy of reports and photos. Yes, the loss of the high school was a pity -- along with another Paul Rudolph structure, a house somewhere in New England, which was to be moved (as I recall) but didn't make it. The collection of Rudolph we saw recently on another thread was a treat !
