Save our architectural treasures.

Kraigher_House_Neutra
America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places is now accepting applications for 2011. This organization has helped save hundreds of historic treasures, including the work of mid-century greats. The Kraigher House (above) was designed by Richard Neutra in 1937, and may have been the first International Style house in Texas. In 2004, it was listed as one of the 11 Most Endangered Historic Places, and by 2007 the house had been restored and saved. The photos below show the house when it was first built, and how it looks today.
