• Visit to Neutra’s Reunion House

    As explained by D Neutra (son of R J Neutra) the Reunion House (2440 Earl St, LA, CA) was built as a spec house while the VDL was being repaired after a fire.  The Reunion House was designed to accommodate an older family, after children have moved.  There was a guest room for the children, and this is the origin of the house’s name.

    Currently the house is well lived in by D Neutra and his wife.

    The bathroom features a horizontal mirror with standard mirror cabinets floating in front.  Also, clear story windows look through to an adjoining interior room.
