New Yorker Glass House Puzzle

“The Glass House,” which appeared on the May 20, 1967 New Yorker cover, was among Charles Saxon’s legendary 92 covers and 725 drawings published over three decades. A resident of New Canaan, CT, which had the greatest concentration of mid-century modern houses in the United States in the 1960’s, Saxon knew many of these experimental modern home owners, as well as their architects--Marcel Breuer, Philip Johnson, Eliot Noyes, John Johansen, Landis Gores, John Black Lee, and Victor Christ-Janer.
