The Glass House is a National Historic Landmark that is considered a modern marvel. The artist who built these proportions and the perfectly simplistic house was Philip Johnson. He built the 47-acre estate for himself in New Canaan, Connecticut, and was the first of fourteen structures that Philip built over a span of 50 years. There are tours available to gaze into the beauty in its composition with the rolling landscape. There are also multiple sculptures throughout the property, along with a painting gallery.
