Trifecta of Greats: Strauss, Roush and Garcia: Westheimer House Coffee Chat
In 1953, Carl Strauss and Ray Roush designed a home for Cincinnati philanthropists Charles and May Westheimer and their five children. Sited on steep ridge in Clifton, the house is beautifully integrated to its hillside setting with woods and native plantings. The current owners are only the second family to inhabit this space in 75 years. During their stewardship, they worked with Carl Strauss himself and more recently with Jose Garcia to enlarge spaces, enhance vistas to the outdoors, and add a few rooms -- all in keeping with the original classic MCM design.
Join us on Saturday, September 20th for this special opportunity to hear their story, tour the home filled with a fascinating art collection, and trek through the terraced garden filled with native plants, trees, fountains, contemporary sculpture -- and even a putting green!
