SORRY WE TRIED OUR BEST BUT COULDN'T FIND A BUYER, SEE THE STORY IN CROSSCUT.COM.
THIS HOME HAS BEEN DESTROYED, yes, the one by architect Paul Thiry house below. Agent/associate broker Tom Holst is mentioned in the Seattle Times big article today, with photos, (Wednesday March 10, 2010)!! Pickup a copy.It's a story all about preserving this gem: Here's some new pix I took yesterday as I walked around with the Seattle Times reporter and photographer:

<Amazing
master bath, the mirror slides in a track to expose or cover the window
with water view above the two sinks. Here's a close up of the really
cool original glass tiles that cover all the bathroom walls floor to
ceiling:
Getting down to the wire on this Paul Thiry house, we need someone, some angel, to come by and save this, It was photographed today for the Seattle Times and should have an article coming out shortly so hopefully the publicity will help. The house itself is available for ONE DOLLAR, but the moving will be over $200K since it's an all concrete house: I was there again today March 9th, 2010, talking about it:
This incredible house shown below the next picture, is going to be destroyed and needs someone to SAVE it! The Paul Thiry on the waterfront in Normandy Park. Perhaps by chance someone will happen to see these additional pictures and contact me. I'm doing this because a buyer needs to be found by this spring or sooner, time is imperative, the clock is running out. You can see the style of the concrete foundation structures echoed in several other structures below, such as one of the icons of the 1962 World's Fair:
Here are some more pictures, and I can send you a list of potential waterfront or near-waterfront lots to move this home to, via barge, For a price in the $200,000s the most professional house-moving company on the west coast, with insurance, will move this to a lot of your choosing near salt water and no more than about about14 feet above the waterline. I don't get any commission or kick-backs or fees from this, I would just like to see this piece of midcentury modern saved, and the memory of it's creator. I it's very do-able, and actually less expensive than building new! Email: moderntom@yahoo.com or call: 206-841-0003
Again, the support pillars seen below are almost exactly like the ones on the just opened brand new BMW factory designed by another world famous "starchitect" Zaha Hadid, pictured here, in Liepzig Germany:
Now here's our Paul Thiry, below:
Paul Thiry (known as "the father of NW Modernism") designed this house on the beach in Normandy Park has had a temporary reprieve while we try to find someone to buy it for ONE DOLLAR !!!!!!! and then a simple procedure to have Nickel Bros. (very experienced house movers) move it by barge it to your, probably salt-waterfront, new lot and reinstall it. Cheaper than building a new house, and you get a real piece of modern master history! and a house that looks beyond today in timeless design. But contact us SOON if you have any ideas because it's very likely it will be "ground down" into concrete rubble otherwise by the current owner of the land. Here's photos I took recently, observe the cool open staircase, and see the video below:
