Designed as Johnson's "dorm room" while at Harvard. A courtyard house with a rectangular walled courtyard in front of the window wall on the front of the structure.

Can be viewed pretty effectively from the top of the stops into the Radcliffe dorm building across the street - otherwise it presents a nearly completely blank facade from the street.
