In
1949, photographer Robert Sullivan, at R.M. Schindler's request, made
some images when the Janson's house was still under construction. In
one, Ellen Janson is standing alone on the deck against the skyline.
"Skyhooks" was the nickname for her residence.
Special
thanks to the Art, Design & Architecture Museum at the
University of California, Santa Barbara, and especially to Melinda
Gandara.
