Tour and learn more about this 1800 farmhouse and that was transformed by pioneering modernist Oscar Stonorov in the 1940s bringing his vision alive in every line of the home, blurring the boundaries between structure and landscape, as floor-to-ceiling windows frame a protected, unchanged panorama of rolling hills and wooded valleys. Learn more about Stonorov and his contributions to modern architecture — especially in Philadelphia — from Bill Whitaker, director and curator of the Architecture Archives at the University of Pennsylvania. Light Refreshments will also be served.
