Glass House - New Canaan







Glass House, Johnson House, is a historical Museum at 798-856 Ponus Ridge Road in New Canaan, Connecticut. Built in 1949. It was designed by Philip Johnson as his residence.

The house is an example of early use of industrial materials such as glass and steel in home design. Johnson lived at the weekend retreat for 58 years, and since 1960 with his longtime companion, David Whitney, an art critic and curator who helped design the landscaping and largely collected the art display there.
