The Crimson Beech
[1] Its original owners, Catherine and William Cass, had it manufactured by Marshall Erdman in kit form in Madison, Wisconsin and shipped to Staten Island where it was erected in 1959.[2] It is the only residence designed by Wright in New York City and one of eleven Marshall Erdman Prefab Houses that were built.[4] All interior walls are paneled in Philippine mahogany, with raised horizontal bands set about a foot apart.[2] The exterior, red brick and largely clad in cream-colored Masonite, is similarly striped with redwood battens that emphasize the low-slung lines.[4] The house was declared a landmark in August 1990[1] and the original owners resided there until 1999 when it was sold.
