Josephine M. Hagerty House
Josephine M. Hagerty House, International Style residence in Cohasset, Massachusetts.
The Hagerty House features vertical board siding and floor-to-ceiling plate glass windows that maximize views of Massachusetts Bay from its coastal location.
Built in 1938, this residence marks the first United States commission for Walter Gropius, founder of the Bauhaus School and professor at Harvard Graduate School of Design.
The structure represents a milestone in American architecture as an early example of International Style design principles, incorporating local materials with modern aesthetics.
The house includes a three-story section extending inland, a horizontal single-story wing, and a south-facing sundeck for outdoor activities.
The residence sits on a rocky point facing Massachusetts Bay, where special salt-resistant cement was used to protect the foundations from coastal conditions.
