The U.S.’ Coolest Homes

Travel and Leisure online compiled a list of America’s coolest houses and, of course, Philip Johnson’s Glass House in New Canaan, CT made the cut. The 1,728 square feet home was completed in 1949. Elvis Presley’s birthplace home in Tupelo, MS also made the famous list. The two-room home was built by the King’s father on a borrowed budget of $180. Earthship in Taos, MS, joins the other homes. The back of it is primarily built out of dirt and old tires, the front appears more like a normal home with glass walls and gardens. Famous architect Frank Llyod Wright adds another home, Fallingwater in Mill Run, PA, to Travel and Leisure’s list that appears to hover 30 feet over waterfalls. Talk about spectacular views. Thomas Jefferson also made an appearance on the list with Monticello in Charlottesville, VA. The house is filled with projects and inventions such as his revolving bookstand, his Great Clock and the Jeffersonian alcove bed.
