| Discussion | Alexander House Commentary
"This addition to a 1930's colonial-style house includes a kitchen, breakfast room, potting area, desk, and sitting room within one 900 square foot space on the ground floor. The original house, like many of neoclassical descent, has a quadripartite plan with a central entrance hall. The addition, similar in size to one quadrant of the original house, has its own four-part organization and its own center." — Karen Vogel Wheeler, Peter Arnell, Ted Bickford, editors. Michael Graves, Buildings and Projects 1966-1981. New York: Rizzoli, 1982. p65. | |||||
