Esherick House
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Esherick House is located in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. It was designed by American architect Louis Kahn and built for the Kahn firm by architect Galen Schlosser of East Falls, Philadelphia. The house was completed in 1961. Schlosser was the supervising architect for the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and the Kimbell Art Museum. The first of three homes in the East Falls Section of Philadelphia built by Schlosser was constructed in 1957, and shows design elements which were precursors to the Esherick House and the Salk Institute. The Kahn archives and library are located in the architectural archives at the University of Pennsylvania, as a source for research.
