Designed by Walter Gropius – one of the twentieth century’s most influential architects – this property was home to him and his family during his tenure at Harvard University during the mid-1900s.
Completed in 1938, the house was the first commissioned project in the United States for Gropius, and combines the traditional New England aesthetic with the modernist ideals of the Bauhaus.
