Property Description
Tulipwood, the stunning Mid-Century Modern home & property of architectural, cultural & historical significance is being offered for sale on the open market for the first time ever! Includes 8/13 of 4100-4 Apalogen Rd (8/13 of a 1.23 acre lot on right side of home). Designed & built in 1954 by landmark architect Elizabeth Hirsh Fleisher as the home & residence for her & her husband, noted landscape architect Horace Teller Fleisher. Elizabeth Hirsh Fleisher was the first licensed woman architect in Philadelphia & one of the first in PA. Elizabeth is noted for designing Parkway House in 1952, one of the first post-war luxury apartment buildings in Philadelphia next door to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Elizabeth partnered w/ Gabriel Roth in 1941 to establish the Roth & Fleisher firm, they worked together until she retired in 1968. Elizabeth was friends w/ famed wood sculptor/furniture maker Wharton Esherick & commissioned Wharton to design & build a custom one-of-a-kind floor-to-ceiling undulating fireplace wall that goes across the entire width of the living room from the inside through windows to the outside under a covered porch made of tapering Walnut, Poplar & Cherry wood. It is a priceless work of art & the heart, center & focal point of the home. Wharton also designed & built the cabinetry/shelving in the library/den/office in the home. Wharton Esherick was recognized in his lifetime by his peers as the Dean of American Craftspeople. Wharton Eshericks home, studio & museum in Malvern, PA, were added to the National Register of Historic Places. Elizabeth didnt stop there & commissioned other famous artist friends to make custom one-of-a-kind pieces that are fixtures in the home. Famed furniture designer/sculptor Paul Evans made a 4 ft long wall-mounted cabinet & famed furniture maker/designer Phillip Lloyd Powell made a 10 ft long wall-mounted Credenza. Evans & Lloyd were part of the post-war New Hope, PA artist colony w/ fellow artisan George Nakashima. Paul Evans is arguably the most collectible American furniture designer of the late 20th Century w/ Lenny Kravitz, Tommy Hilfiger & Gwen Stefani among the list of avid collectors. Phillip Lloyd Powell is estimated to have produced less than 1000 pieces in his lifetime.
