modernism in the hamptons

Esquire Weekend House

May 1959

It's that time of the year again,

when all the Swells head out to see the swells 

and hang out with all the other Swells

in the Hamptons.

I will be content to sweat my balls off

in The City and enjoy the peace....

(Ok, I am a just bit jealous,

but just a bit, 

I'd rather hang out down in NC...)

So,

 here are some of my favorite

modern/ist homes from the long island

off the coast of Gotham....
