I hear that it's a frat house now, but I can't really explain the origins of that rumour. Current and past Yale students please respond.

Rudolph's house at Yale
Does someone know the exact address of Rudolph's house while he was at Yale. It looked like this then.

Price drop: Rudolph's Cohen House in Sarasota...Someone buy it now
SOMEONE BUY THIS HOUSE NOW : Rudolph's 1955 Cohen Residence in Sarasota, Florida. It's now offered at $1,475,000 and it's been on the market for a while. Come on people. You know you want it. Spread the word and let's go for the gold- let's get this sold before Christmas 2007!
Lovingly restored by Seibert Architects (Tim Seibert worked in Rudolph's Sarasota office) from 2004-2007. Pack your bags and just move in - it looks exactly as it does in the images here, except you might start salivating a bit at how gorgeous it is when you're actually there.
The house was commissioned by local patrons of the arts, whose engaged lifestyles called for a balance of tranquility - enabling work and rest - and layers of stimulation that would activate and enhance their parties and salons. The "conversation pit," a hallmark move of Rudolph's, is the house's social nucleus.
Did I mention that it sits on a canal, Bayou Louise, which has access to the Gulf of Mexico? It's perfect margarita-party setting.
Three different schemes existed for the project. The essential unit on the design is the four-square module, scaled up and reconfigured. The second iteration, which was awarded top honors by Progressive Architecture in 1954, was a two-storey design which was rejected by the owners, along with the climactically-responsive system of operable flaps. They wanted air-conditioning. Can't really blame them.
