Michael Graves, born in Indianapolis in 1934 and later famous as a founder of postmodernism and one of the New York Five, began his practice with two houses in Fort Wayne, built for friends from his high-school years. The first commission of his career was the Hanselmann House: designed from 1967 and completed in 1971, built for $55,000 — a deconstructed white cube, its main volume raised and entered by bridge-like walkways with single-flight stairs at either end. It won an American Institute of Architects Honor Award in 1975, was offered for sale in 2017 at $264,888, and still stands.
The second, the Snyderman House of 1972, built for Sanford and Joy Snyderman, was the sculptural one: curved, stuccoed forms that translated Graves's abstract paintings into a building. Published around the world, it became a set text of late modernism — and its experimental skin failed early; within a decade the sculptural surfaces were deteriorating badly. The Snyderman House was destroyed by an arson fire in 2002. Between them, the two Fort Wayne houses made Graves's national reputation a decade before his postmodern turn.
