Abel House

Breuer and Gropius – House for Dr. Virgil Abel

Dr. Virgil Abele commissioned a house from the Gropius-Breuer studio in 1940. He asked for the same angled entrance with a canopy that Gropius had used for his house in Lincoln, MA. The main volume of the house was a two-story rectangle clad in vertical timber boards with fieldstone walls that accentuated the fireplace and the end of the garage. The entrance façade was animated by the canopy and the projecting volumes of the stair and fireplace. The garden façade featured ribbon windows and was recessed behind the end of the flat roof, creating a small elevation change along the south and east sides. A corner conservatory echoed the gesture of the entrance canopy. 
Gropius claimed authorship of this house and Breuer left the collaboration before the project was completed.
