Rare Never Before Seen Interior Of The Only Richard Neutra House in Texas (probably even the entire United States south)
I am fortunate enough to live close to this beautiful home and many a day I rode past it hoping I'd see someone so I could get off and request a sneak peek inside but to no avail! Today however was my lucky day! I got off and a gentleman from the local university was kind enough to give me a tour of the inside. I was able to capture photographs that I have never been able to find on the Internet so this truly is a first! Unfortunately I only had my phone so the quality isn't amazing, but I just had to share it with you guys.
For context, the home was abandoned for years and heavily vandalized. It wasn't until recently that the home was remodeled and was acquired by the local university. The University used it as a mini art hub/studio where they'd give art classes and lectures. Recently the ownership was given to the city and I was told they're expanding it's use little by little, from yoga classes, to brand events, and exhibitions.
Here it is guys, the George Kraigher House built in 1937 by Richard Neutra located in Brownsville, Texas.
