The Allen House (Westport, Connecticut)


The Allen House is a historic house at 4 Burritt's Landing North in Westport, Connecticut. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 22, 2010. The house, built in 1958, is the only known example in Westport of work by Chicago architect Roy Binkley, Jr.. It is a Bauhaus-style mid-20th Century Modern structure.
The home is roughly "u-shaped" and features unusual 30-foot tall windows, and a spring-fed fish pond. Actor and director Lee Strasberg used it as a summer home and studio in the 1950s and 60s, and often hosted celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe.
