"Mies van der Rohe-protege..."Mies van der Rohe fans unite. He was a genius IMHO.

I could NOT afford the house but the price seems low for a house like that.

Supposedly the house wasn't THAT "luxurious". Sure it had that cool detached garage/showroom, but the house itself wasn't too desirable.
I don't remember many scenes from inside the house shown in the movie, besides Cameron's room.

If you don’t mind living in a cold steel and glass box like a canary.
Did they use yesterday’s news papers for carpeting?

He wouldn't say who bought the four-bedroom, steel-and-glass house built on the edge of a wooded ravine. Abe Froman.

Little swales like that are called “ravines” in Illinois?

Here’s another! I’d love to live in a house like this! Brings the outside inside! Gotta have a very private lot though.

Yuck! Barf! Hideous house! No charm, no warmth, no comfort.... you couldn’t give it to me for free.

Yes, so imaginative, like a box.
(we’ll all be living in boxes soon, if people keep on buying washers and refrigerators that those boxes contain anyway)

I thought he died. Oh wait, that was Abe Vigoda.

I’m not defending the house...haven’t seen it (other than the garage in the movie)...but I like van de Rohe’s work...the whole Bauhaus movement.

I hope the new owners don’t throw stones.

I find extremely contemporary houses cold and uninviting. This house is about as inviting as a prison cell. I have never heard of van de Rohe, I'm good with that.

So,,, what are you living in? A fake Colonial? If one has the right lot, one can live with nature as one’s backdrop. Almost like living outside!
