Paul Schweikher House and Studio
Paul Schweikher House and Studio, Residential museum in Schaumburg Township, US
The Paul Schweikher House combines wood, brick, and glass elements in a T-shaped structure featuring separate areas for sleeping, working, and living spaces.
Paul Schweikher designed and built this residence between 1937 and 1938, following his recognition at the Museum of Modern Art exhibition.
The architecture merges Prairie School, International style, and Japanese design elements, reflecting Schweikher's experiences from his stay at Tokyo's Imperial Hotel.
The house opens for private tours through the Schweikher House Preservation Trust, allowing visitors to explore the 2.5-acre property and its architectural features.
Alexander Langsdorf, a Manhattan Project physicist, and his wife Martyl, creator of the Doomsday Clock, lived in this house after Schweikher moved to Connecticut.
