	Massachusetts Divorce Case: Ginsberg vs. Blacker, MA Appellate Case Ginsberg v. Blacker
		Blacker's intimidating behavior toward his ex-wife, as testified to by Ginsberg and credited by the judge, could be rationally interpreted by the judge as "creat[ing] a picture of a volatile situation in which the possibility of physical abuse was present." Commonwealth v.
		Blacker complains in his brief that the judge refused to allow his counsel to cross-examine Ginsberg regarding her allowing him to drive her and the children to visit her relatives on Christmas Eve but does not present a coherent argument that the judge's action was an abuse of discretion or otherwise erroneous.
		Blacker advances no argument regarding the significance of Ginsberg's delay in seeking the order (a delay that can be regarded as understandable in light of the fact that she relied on Blacker's assistance with their disabled son, maintaining the house and, to a lesser extent, helping their daughter).

		On the rear of the house, the west balcony on the second level promoted enjoyment of the garden views, though it was enclosed in 1914 to create a year-round interior space.
		The Blacker outbuildings were begun in April 1907; construction began at the Cole house in mid-May; the two design revisions for Freeman Ford were presented in May and June; and furniture was being crafted from the Greenes' designs for the Robinson and Bolton houses.
		As on the garage the Greenes had designed for the Blackers, a series of massive iron strap hinges were shaped with respect to the structure, creating a harmony between the materials that is echoed in the iron details of the main residence.

		orn in Wicklow, Blacker moved to London by the early 1840's and was trading as a tackle dealer by 1843.
		Blacker's salmon flies were some of the most original patterns ever tied, and still present a challenge to the professional fly dresser.

	House System at the California Institute of Technology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Blacker's courtyard formerly featured a habitable treehouse and a giant tire swing, but the tree that bore them was cut down during renovations of the house in the 2005-2006 academic year.
		The house became associated with the hippie lifestyle, and in 1990 multiple Dabney House members were banned from campus housing for performing lewd acts in the house courtyard (an event known as "the fipi").
		The process varies from House to House, but in general one makes an announcement at dinner to the effect of "I would like to be a member of House," and the House conducts a vote (the nature of the vote, again, varying).

		Lawless was happy with his house, and in November 1908 persuaded his neighbor and friend, George H. Letteau, to allow the Greenes to design and supervise the construction of a pergola and brick walk to connect their adjacent houses.
		If the Blacker and Gamble houses represented the high art of suburban domestic architecture of the period, the Pratt house and grounds signify their rural counterpart, with an altogether less formal design program for the house and furnishings that reflected, in design and decoration, the open countryside on which it would be built.
		Although the design of the house seems to have been a collaboration of the two brothers at the height of their classic period together, the Thorsen house is visually distinct from the Pasadena houses of the same period.

	ArchitectureWeek - Culture - The Blacker House of Greene & Greene - 2001.1205
		In the Blacker House of 1907, architects Charles and Henry Greene developed and brought forward the full thrust of their new and highly refined timber style to create what became the largest and most elaborate of their wooden masterworks.
		This applied equally well to the large estate and to the modest bungalow, as manifested by the compatibility of the scale of the main Blacker House with the three outbuildings.
		This article is an excerpt from Greene & Greene: The Blacker House, excerpted with permission by Gibbs Smith, Publisher.

		Another proposal is to split the house — which is physically three houses, side by side — into three distinct co-ops, which would have the advantage of boosting personal responsibility in any given house.
		We have a grad student house, two women-only houses, an african-american themed house, a queer house, and a vegetarian house.
		This could even be a resource for the USCA, as such a house could be a development center for useful co-op technologies, such as solar energy, or the planned co-op to co-op wireless network.

	E.N. Larry - Hoefler House
		In 1925, the house was owned by a Carl Palmberg who, as he faced losing his fortune, attempted to set the house on fire.
		By approximating a one storied house, this residence is a bungalow; in other words, it was "built along Bungalow lines." The brackets and exposed rafter ends beneath the cornice further define the house as a West Coast, or California, Bungalow.
		This house gains Western Stick recognition on this point (as they are are applied more realistically) and from the way the structural members cross and project beyond the column support.
