Beautiful innovative masonry with arches and domes. Pet-Friendly!

A peaceful place in the woods, comfortable rooms with unique masonry construction. This house was built as a test model, which helped the invention (concrete block to build roofs, as arches and domes) to get accepted into Building Code for the first time. There are lots of features to showcase what the masonry can do, including 8 ft. diameter domes, 16 ft. dome (kitchen), and 24 ft diameter dome (bedroom); also independent arches which span the living room, flying buttresses, and a tall tower entryway with a gothic arched roof. This building was designed by Robert Ferry, AIA, RDP. The living room has a large book collection (main subject is the Enlightenment), a 1940 upright Steinway piano, a great stereo with vintage Klipschorn speakers, and a 60 inch TV. There is a dining room table seating 6, a kitchen table seating 4. There is radiant heating under the tiled floor. Kitchen: 2 gas stoves, microwave, coffeemaker and full cooking and serving utensils. 1 mile to Alfred University.
