The commission for the James H. Smith House came through Breuer's friend, Herbert Bayer, who lived in Aspen too.
This is a drawing of the house. I couldn't find a good photo of the completed project. An interior shot would be great
to see as well. I wonder if they tried to build their own "Galaxy" fixture?
