Talk with the owner about his sensitive rennovation over the past 3 1/2 years, and learn the process followed for National Register nomination and the preservation efforts to save this unique modernist home. This home is currently for sale, and is located in Glen Ellyn 1pm-2pm
Then join us for a tour and reception at the modernist home and studio of artist Samuel Himmelfarb. He designed the home for his family, circa 1937-1938. Enjoy the art and architecture while visiting with this family of accomplished artists, at their home in Winfield 2pm - 3:30pm
