With my further research of the Mies designed and built McCormick House comes surprises, l like the fact that Kitty Balwin (Weese) redid the McCormick Houses interiors during the 70's. Kitty was a principal in Chicago's land mark modern furniture store Baldwin-Kingery. Does anyone have info about Kitty Baldwin, and especially her interior designs for the McCormick House. Thanks

kitty baldwin/jody kingery
Research mistake, Kitty Baldwin was not the interior designer of the 70's re-do of Mies-Elmhurst,IL McCormick House's interiors, it was in fact her former partner Jody Kingery. Jody had a pair of Barcelona chair's made by a craftsperson in Chicago..process received Mies blessing. Chairs are now in the 70's McCormick House owners very un- Mies Florida home.
