Florsheim Mansion

This understated Art Moderne gem with curvaceous brick and glass block walls was built by and for architect Andrew Rebori. The front living quarters are spacious and strikingly spare. The expansive coach house, flooded with glass block light, was an ideal studio and entertaining space for the house’s second owner, shoe heiress Lillian Florsheim. Her son-in-law, architect Bertrand Goldberg, built a narrow, streamlined “bridge kitchen” connecting both houses above the small courtyard between them. The Florsheim Mansion is beautifully appointed with art, including works by Lillian Florsheim, and is available for events and lodging.
