Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) HouseWhat strikes me most about this house is that no two elevations are alike. The exterior is very unpredictable and random, which makes it very interesting.. much like the writer himself. Tiffany and his partners of Associated Artists designed the interiors, keeping with the theme of variety and experimentation found on the exterior.
Not only is the house architecturally striking, it is also innovating in the technologies used that were very modern at the time the house was constructed. These included a gravity heat flow system, split flues that allowed for a window over the fireplaces, and flush toilets in the bathrooms. The Twain house was also one of the very first private homes to have a telephone installed.
I really want to go here!!
