If you go to http://www.neutra-vdl.org you will see a website about the Richard and Dion Neutra VDL Studio/Residences. There is a “links” page at the bottom of which you will find a link to “world map of Neutra Projects”. This leads to a new Freebase data base which shows addresses, maps and satellite images of all Neutra projects.

Good Hunting, and nice pictures of the Ohara House!

Stamford is next door although Brookhollow Lane is somewhat out of the way. And now that you mention it, I remember someone emailing me about it, or posting a comment on my blog about it, some months ago.

Brookhollow is an estate area, very close to back country Greenwich. I’ll do a drive-by and see if it’s visible from the road.

You’ll be happy to know that I found three Neutras in Connecticut.

- Glen House (1960) 130 Brookhollow Ln, Stamford

- Kraigher House (1958) Bethlehem Rd, Litchfield

- Corwin House (1955) Huckleberry Ln, Weston

Unfortunately, I couldn’t get exact addresses for the last two. According to Zillow, the Glen House still stands.

As for New York, there is the Adelphi University Swirbul Library (1963) Garden City, Long Island

I guess since Neutra did such a large number of houses/buildings that some of them have gotten “lost” over the years. Hopefully, the other two houses are still extant.

Thanks. I’m actually in Westchester County, one town over from New Canaan. Ct., so I’d be more interested in what you might find out about the northern suburbs and Connecticut than Long Island (which I mentioned only because I thought I had heard he had done a house out in the Hamptons). New Canaan, as you might know, has about 80 mid-century moderns still extant (we’ve been writing about one that’s in peril, Philip Johnson’s Alice Ball House, on our blog) but I haven’t heard of a Neutra there.
