Steely -- I am sure Johnson had multiple residences. And I completely agree, I am no fan of his architectural works either. Didn't he have something to do with the design of the Four Seasons restaurant in the Seagram's Building? Maybe it's just that he ate there a lot, so we know he liked excellent cuisine.

I believe he designed the Seagram's Building. I'll bet he liked to eat at the Four Seasons!

A few months ago, someone here at FR posted an unforgettable image of Johnson. The picture, which appeared to have been taken in a rooftop garden, showed Johnson, beautifully attired, in a relaxed posture, leaning against a railing or something, and looking at the camera with a very satisfied expression on his face. In the background, maybe two blocks away, was the newly-erected Seagram Building. In the image, Johnson's size was about the same as that of the building he had created.

What an amazing, and satisfying, life he must have lived.

Oh, sorry, I erred. The Seagrams Building was designed by Mr. Johnson and Mies Van Der Rohe. Perhaps he did design the Four Seasons, as you suggested.
