GirlHacker's Random Log

Deborah Sarnoff and Robert Gotkin are big fans of modernist architect Robert Venturi. So when they found out one of his houses, a beach cottage in Long Beach Island on the Jersey Shore, was to be demolished, they bought it and moved it to Glen Cove, on the North Shore of Long Island. So the house took a trip on a barge, witnessed by Venturi and other curious onlookers and fans, resulting in not your usual N.Y. Times slideshow. It arrived safely 20 hours later to settle in next to Sarnoff and Gotkin’s existing Venturi house.
