Joseph Erlanger’s House by Phillip Kalantzis

This morning I decided to bring across some photography by Phillip Kalantzis, a New York city based photographer, who took these fascinating pictures of Joseph Erlanger’s House in Urbana, Illinois. Joseph Erlanger won the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology in 1944 for the discovery of different types of nerve fibers, and to this day his house has been preserved and have been named a National Historic Landmark. Not long ago the International Astronomical Union even named a crater on the moon after him.

All I could find out about the house was that it was built in around 1903 and Erlanger moved into it in 1917 and live there until his death. I was really surprised by the interior and also the abundance of rights angles/modern shapes, simple and understated just like the man himself.

Phillip has got many great sets on his portfolio website, another one I would advise viewing is the Hemmingway/Warren Residence series which is also architecturally brilliant and features some nice Eames wooden lounge chairs. Enjoy.
