The Irwin pool house designed by Landis Gores in 1957 boasts a central room with high ceilings and an unobstructed view of the landscape. In 2005, the Town of New Canaan purchased the property and added exhibition spaces, as well as rooms for lectures and events. The small pavilion also houses an oversized, monumental brick fireplace design that divides the main space from the kitchen area.
The existing single bedroom 800-square-foot cottage has structural and plumbing problems and was marketed as a tear down when purchased in 2007. It’s cute, especially after we changed the exterior color from pink to gray, but after 85 years it is at the end of its life and will be deconstructed and recycled as part of this project.
