   • The Philip Johnson Glass House. Philip Johnson (1906-2005) built himself this Modernist dwelling as a weekend retreat in 1949. As the name tells you, the Glass House has transparent glass walls, and these are on a symmetrical steel structure.
   • Waveny Park. One of the founders of Texaco, Lewis Lapham commissioned this stately Elizabethan-style mansion, known as “The Castle” in 1912. Waveny House is in 300 acres of flowing grounds laid out by Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr., and would stay in the family until 1967.
   • Downtown New Canaan. For me one of the very best things about New Canaan is its walkable and welcoming center. In quaint brick storefronts there’s an upscale choice of restaurants, cafes, galleries, shops, and other service businesses.
   • Silvermine Arts Center. A point of reference for Fairfield County’s vigorous arts scene, the Silvermine Art Center is an art school and exhibition space with five galleries.
