John Hanson admired the House in the Museum Garden and asked Breuer to design a house for him in Lloyd Harbor, Huntington, Long Island. The single-story house with a butterfly roof was executed in Breuer's familiar palette of materials: field stone, vertical cypress siding and glass. An entrance hall connected the open-air car port with the compact main volume of the house containing the bedroom, living room, dining room, kitchen and playroom. A low stone wall delineated the trapezoidal terrace that opened off the living spaces. The house was completed in 1951. Another architect expanded the house sometime before 1966.
