A 1955 Paul Rudolph Modernist Icon
The Sewell C. Biggs Residence in Delray Beach, Florida, was originally designed by Paul Rudolph, the famed modernist architect and a pioneer of the Sarasota School of Architecture, who later became chairman of the Yale School of Architecture. Constructed in 1955, the two-story 1,600 square-foot structure featured two bedrooms/two bathrooms on the upper floor, and an open living space on the ground floor. Biggs, a Delaware-born art collector and philanthropist, lived in the home until 1961. The unique, iconic residence was added to the Local Register of Historic Places in June, 2005.
