New Photography Exhibit at the Gores Pavilion

Gores Pavilion, located in Irwin Park was designed by Landis Gores, who was Philip Johnson’s associate on the Glass House as well as one of the celebrated “Harvard Five” architects who settled here in the 1940’s and 50’s. Intended as a combination lodge and pool house for Jack Irwin (Ambassador to France and later Undersecretary of State) and his wife Jane Watson (daughter of IBM’s founder), it was situated about a hundred yards from the Irwin’s more conventional house.
