What a fun site. My future "host daughter" found this when researching our family from Slavenia. Thank you for your beautiful article. I am happy you enjoyed your time in our home. The books in backwards was a wierd happen stance. I had never thought to do such a thing, but when we were putting up books we bought in a bundle at auction, & had unearthed from years past, we saw swasticas (spelling???) on the binding. As a Buddhist I come across the same symbol in various temples so I know it has various meanings, but I was uncomfortable showcasing the binding in our historically Jewish home. When I flipped the book instinctualy, I was delighted in how aestically pleading the textures & colors of the pages were compared to bindings. I have never liked the glossy jackets, & with both little boys and dogs it's rare for a jacket to stay preserved in our house anyway.

It does have a lot in common with this one--but is much bigger, of course!

He also was the architect of "Ambleside" (1928) on the Nat'l Historic Register which was most recently owned by Marge Schott and is being marketed for sale in mid-2009. Deeken certainly had a grasp of the seductive feel of a stone tudor house and found some of the most skilled laborers to make his designs happen.
