As visitors ascend the stairs and round the corner to the second floor, a corner of glass floods the stairwell with natural light and affords spectacular views of the stepped canopy, the driveway trellis, and a dramatic rock ledge. Long, thin strips of Cherokee red steel hold these large panes of glass in place, emphasizing the horizontal lines of the house. When small casements at the corner are opened from both sides, the eye is astonished as the corner disappears.

You may endow the Second Floor Landing for $28,000.
