Description
Greene & Greene Architects, The Culbertson/Prentiss Residence, 1911 & later. Unlike the Greene's monumental 2-story Craftsman designs, the Culbertson/ Prentiss Residence presents a ground-hugging horizontal symmetry at entry. Classical Asian elements are woven into a modest facade that belies one of the Greene's greatest achievements: Modernist openness to nature paired with interiors of eclectic late Edwardian sophistication. Randell Makinson characterized the Culbertson/Prentiss Residence as one of the most sensitively developed & minutely detailed houses ever produced in this country. Today, The Culbertson/Prentiss Residence, after a world-class restoration, invites flexibly both grand entertaining on occasion & a relaxed, modern lifestyle day-to-day. Unlike the Greenes' inwardly focused Craftsman landmarks, the principal spaces here are bright & open to the U-shaped central courtyard garden. Remarkable privacy & architecture within one of the finest, most walkable neighborhoods.
