While Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House is the highest-profile and most notable glass home in the Chicago area, the H.P. Davis Rockwell House in Olympia Fields, a southern suburb of Chicago, is truly a marvel of modernism. The home was designed and built by H.P. Davis "Deever" Rockwell of Brenner Danforth Rockwell as the architect's personal residence in 1964. A student of Mies van der Rohe, Rockwell certainly borrowed some design inspiration from the famous modernist in creating this flat, glass and concrete home.
