In the mid-1960s, homeowner Augustus Mino and his wife Rita visited Phillip Johnson’s glass house in New Canaan, Connecticut. They liked it so much, they decided to build one of their own.
Mino, a gifted artist, sculptor and graphic designer, employed architect Robert Fitzpatrick to help him design the “copy,” which was finished in 1967 at the cost of $ 65,000.
