But in that same era, another influential enclave was being developed in a far less hospitable environment: the far end of Cape Cod, on Massachusetts's Atlantic Coast. And this year marks the 75th anniversary of one of the earliest and most significant of these local structures, a lakeside house in Wellfleet built in 1949 by famed Bauhaus designer Marcel Breuer.
Originally intending to construct a community of homes for himself and his peers, Breuer purchased a wooded 24-acre site a five-minute walk from the Atlantic. He was the first of the group to build his own home in the area, selecting a hilltop site overlooking three ponds.
