More info: The house was awarded the 25-Year Award from the American Institute of Architects in 1987 for being the signature building of a master architect . It was built by Nancy and Eugene Bavinger, the residents of the house, who were artists.During its construction the family opened their home to curious visitors each weekend, charging them $1 in admission, eventually making over $50,000. Eventually they decided not to let anyone see the house because they did not want to be disturbed while living there. The Bavinger House is now open for tours every weekend.
