Brick House Restoration

The Glass House, a site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, announces the completed restoration of the historic Brick House originally designed by Philip Johnson in 1949. The Brick House, constructed just months before The Glass House, was an integral part of the architect’s original plan for the site, offering two essential halves to a single composition. Closed to the public since 2008 due to ongoing damage from water infiltration, its closing left half of the property’s core architectural story untold. The National Trust has invested $1.8 million to restore, renovate and conserve the Brick House and its collections. The restoration of The Brick House, as part of this National Historic Landmark has been completed in time for the 75th anniversary of The Glass House.
