The Birds Eye view is of the wrong house. The Frey House II is 1 house south and is smaller with a swimming pool directly next to it.

Likely the home of the "tall academic-looking" woman mentioned in http://www.edencasteel.com/2013/10/my-so-called-mid-century-life/.

Likely the childhood home of the author of http://www.edencasteel.com/2013/10/my-so-called-mid-century-life/.

Potentially the first ALCOA "Care-free" home built per http://www.edencasteel.com/2013/10/my-so-called-mid-century-life/.

Looks like a significant addition - but one that did not have a big impact on the original structure!

In Boston! I don't believe it!

Very worth a stop for a meal!

Excellent BBQ!

Fun kitschy family style Italian!

Great for breakfast!

Thoroughly pedestrian design by Gehry - but you gotta pay the bills before you get famous!

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.

Designed by Ernest Cormier as his own Residence.

Had a chance to drive by while visiting a relative that lived only 10 minutes away.

Located in a neighborhood called "Cambridge Village" that appears to include a shared pool and tennis courts. They even have a Yahoo Group for the community.

The house looks very original with an usual "swollen elbow" driveway.

This house has recently gone on the market: http://www.redfin.com/WA/Normandy-Park/18971-Edgecliff-Dr-SW-98166/home/335141

To correct my comment concerning the Life Magazine photos: some are of the Noyes House 2 while others are of different houses.

http://www.tourdelafayette.com/neighborhoods/additionalproperties/10cedarcourt.html#v.

Ironically, this historic preservation listing showcases photos that highlight negative alterations to the house's exterior aesthetics.

This is a Ford Model A based hot rod - not a Model T.

That entry is remarkably free of the constraints of taste . . .

The original Campbell House was built in 1952. The Goldberg House is actually just a relatively modest expansion of that original house and is not a complete replacement. It is worth noting that interior and exterior walls and design were almost completely replaced while the Goldberg family were living in the house.

The Life Magazine photos linked to above may be of a Noyes designed house but they are not of either Noyes House 1 or Noyes House 2 / Courtyard House.

This is likely the Noyes Courtyard House - hard to get a good view of the house but I believe it is the Courtyard House and I believe that makes it the second Noyes House in New Canaan.

If it is the Courtyard House then it is featured in "Tomorrow's Houses". No matter which Noyes House this location represents (Noyes House 1 was demolished), it is featured in "The Harvard Five in New Canaan" by "William D. Earls, AIA": ...
