Project Description

An early example of postmodern architecture and Venturi’s work, this suburban house was built by the architect for his mother as a counter-response to many modern architectural elements of the period. In 2005, the U.S. Postal Service featured the house on a stamp in a series of twelve works of modern American architecture.
