I don’t know how the weather is where you are, but here in DC we’re sweltering in an early summer heat wave. Which means that when I look at this slide I am not thinking about the architectural significance of the Loewy House but rather how I’d love to be on that raft with a cold drink right now. Ideally something served in a hulled-out coconut or pineapple. Loewy House, 1979 / unidentified photographer. Esther McCoy papers, Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution.
