Truman Capote who authored the novella Breakfast at Tiffany's loved the East End of Long Island. He loved it so much that in the early 60’s he purchased not one, but three houses on adjoining lots in Sagaponack, one of which was the home of industrial designer George Nelson. From the three houses, he chose to live in that house that he bought from NYC antiques dealers Walter and Doris Dessauer, and this is the house which was featured in Architectural Digest of 1965, demonstrating taste for a rustic version of Pop. Now, the entire compound if offered for sale by its current owner, artist Ross Bleckner. |
