Ah, the memories. It was A year ago today that I began searching for a Richard Neutra house that was supposedly built in Utah, a hunting lodge commissioned by a Neutra client in Los Angeles, but which had never been identified or documented.
After charging me $10 for the same one-line info I had already found a half dozen places online, I gave up on the Neutra family/office. Who also wanted me to sign over, for free, all the copyrights for any photos I may eventually take of the house, should I ever actually find it.
Cold-calling the organization that preserves Utah’s historic buildings and architecture for information about the only Neutra house in the state, I was asked by more than one person if this was an April Fool’s prank.
Anyway, since finding, visiting, and publishing the house last year, well, not much, really. That’s fine.
