		Neutra's early sketches for Windshield show a house that is light, almost ephemeral, and seemingly only two or three thousand square feet.
		Neutra came up with a solution: he created two sets of plans, one for the contractor, and one for publication.

		The house was called "Windshield"-for all its glass and its windswept setting-and it would turn out to have a history as dramatic as its name.
		Neutra, a Viennese transplanted to Los Angeles in the '20s, was famous for the serene and dazzling flat-roofed houses he built in Hollywood for clients such as legendary director Josef von Sternberg ("The Blue Angel").
		Windshield was Neutra's first house on the East Coast and potentially an avant-garde icon in New England, where there were virtually no modern houses at the time.

	Places: Winds of modernism blew through Neutra's design of island home
		More than most houses, Windshield was defined and done in by the elements, from the water that surrounded it to the hurricane that devastated it to the fire that destroyed it in 1973.
		For a house on Fishers Island, where the Kinsolvings traditionally summered, the Browns wanted a modern house -- one that, as John Brown wrote to Neutra, would be comfortable, convenient, unpretentious, livable, economical to operate and a contrast to their Colonial house in Providence.
		One of Neutra's few concessions to context was the shiplap cypress siding -- painted a machine-like aluminum to blend with the aluminum window frames, thought to be the first use of aluminum sash in American domestic architecture.

		Neutra emigrated to the United States in 1923, joining the Chicago firm of Holabird and Roche.
		For example, in both the Josef von Sternberg House (1936) in the San Fernando Valley and the Corona School (1934-1935) in Bell, Calif., he combined many of the technical approaches associated with the International Style with the use of unusual building materials such as native stone and redwood.
		The most significant of Neutra's projects in the early 1940s was Channel Heights, a government-sponsored housing development in San Pedro, Calif. Neutra was responsible for the entire project, from the overall plan to the specific details such as redwood trim.

		Von Sternberg, however, had another reason for moving out of the house: “It reflected me too much,” was how he justified his flight to the South Pacific in an attempt to escape the spirits he himself had evoked.

		A US Housing Authority report issued in 1942 had this to say about the value of public housing: "Public housing is an opportunity for men and women to help build and manage their own homes.
		Neutra's experimental approach with mass-produced prefabricated construction can be seen in the design of Pueblo del Rio and also in photos of the Channel Heights Housing Project (1941-1943).

		Richard Neutra (1892-1970) emigrated to California from his native Vienna in 1923, and brought with him a commitment to the European Modernism, which he gradually developed into a style dubbed 'California Modern' by the Museum of Modern Art, New York for an exhibition in 1982.
		The Lovell House, Los Angeles (1927-29) was his first masterpiece in the European Modern style (dubbed the International Style by the Museum of Modern Art, New York for an exhibition in 1932 in which the house featured).
		He was also concerned with low-cost housing in the United States under the Federal Housing Administration, but later projects for Los Angeles were not in keeping with the post-war political direction in the United States, and it is his single-family houses which remain his most successful and well-known works.

		Bunker Hill had been denuded of its Victorian houses, the since-restored Angel's Flight funicular railway downtown had fallen into disrepair and was in storage, and everywhere it seemed that L.A. was bulldozing the likes of Irving Gill's Dodge House and Neutra's Von Sternberg House in favor of tract homes and graceless apartment buildings.

		Still, for various reasons, none of the proposed Rand-Wright ventures ever came off — not the purchase of the 1924 Storer house in Los Angeles, nor the building of a new house in Connecticut, nor the designs for the screen version of the novel.
		The trashing of the Stoddard Temple is somewhat reminiscent of Wright's sad account of Midway's decline — "a distinguished beautiful woman dragged to the level of the prostitute" — as a result of indifferent ownership and, finally, Prohibition, which drove nightlife underground.
