CerriTto Residence
In 2000 the home is purchased by Jeffrey and Karen Hogan
In 2007 the Hogans decide to add on to the house and hire local firm Estes Twombly Architects to design the renovation. The Hogans ultimately determine they will need a new house and begin to search for someone who will take the original house and preserve it elsewhere.
The Paul Rudolph Foundation arranges to have the house donated to it and relocated to a site in Catskill, NY owned by Daniel Sachs and Kevin Lindores, two designers from New York.
Dismantling of the house begins in May 2007 with plans to ship it by flatbed truck to the new site.
In June 2007 negotiations to move the house fall apart and the home is later demolished.
