This is one of Harwell Hamilton Harris's late masterworks. I visited it with him in 1988 and several other times. The site layout has the quietness of a journey that Harris gave all his projects large and small.The interior is separated from the exterior by the thinnest sheet of glass, giving the impression that you are living in a forest. Must be saved

This building is a local and national treasure. It's an iconic example of "warm" modernism sprung from an era better known for the cool straight edges of the International Style. To this day, the building is nonostenatious, and supremely livable.

I've been in one of the units several times. They are a great example of mid-20th century architecture and are deserving of historical status.

Took me down an hour and a half rabbit hole learning more about this cool space. The city, state and country need to protect architecture like this. Question: are there people who are against protecting this property?

Architecture is the crossroads of time and perspective. Preserve what deserves preservation.
