Description:
These two houses were built for Ruby Lovell Schwarberg and Ruth Lovell Wetzel (actual twins) and their husbands in Covington, KY. Panorama Point, a four acre-lot with a view that justifies the name contains both houses. The homes are called Sunrise and Sunset because one is built to the east and one to the west. The interior's incorporate no hanging pictures, but instead utilize the picturesque view through the walls of windows. The homes are made primarily of glass, California redwood and brick and deliberately have low key facades so as to avoid taking away from the beauty of the surrounding scenery. the homes were designed by architects Russell Myers and Richard Glaser.
