751 Old Locust Hill Rd Pierce Twp OH 45244

**OPEN HOUSE - Wednesday, Oct. 2 | 5:00- 6:30** Nestled in complete privacy at the end of a long, winding gravel drive is Mary's House - Mary & David Niland's personal residence and one of the most famous modern homes in Cincinnati.

excerpt from “a tribute to David Niland” 2010, by Jayne Merkel, architectural historian and critic: “David Niland (1920 - 2010) was born in Cincinnati, graduated from Withrow High School where he was a football star, and played under coach Woodie Hayes at Dennison University before Hayes went on to Ohio State and Niland went to Yale to earn bachelor's and master's degrees in architecture. He was at Yale at a time when the most influential architects of time -- Louis Kahn, Paul Rudolph, James Stirling, Buckminster Fuller, Eero Saarinen, Konrad Waxman and historian Vincent Scully -- were teaching there. Many of his classmates -- Norman Foster, Richard Rogers, Charles Gwathmey, James Stewart Polshek -- went on to become the most famous architects of the next generation, but Niland came back to use his training in his home town."

"Although he is best known for elegant, white, geometric modern houses, which are works of art in their own rights, he also made important contributions to the art of architecture in the area of handicapped accessibility, an area that became important during this period as a result of the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which affects almost every aspect of design. In two important houses for wheelchair-bound clients -- the Irwin Hanensons in Bond Hill and the Hugh Hawkins family in Indian Hill -- Niland proved that it is possible to create beautiful, spirit enhancing architecture while meeting the complex needs of the disabled.These clients were so important to him that when he built his own house (“Mary’s House,” named for his wife, Mary Krohn Niland), he designed it to be accessible to them with wide corridors, no steps and easyturnarounds.”

At the bottom of the steps, you enter a gorgeous laundry/craft/storage room. The home features a partial basement with walkout to the side.

David Niland's famous secret wine cellar! OR workout room as it is now.

Walkout from lower level to the side yard. Note the extra wide door! If a garage were added off to the side of the house, here is your entrance!

Lower level storage room. Because everyone has 'stuff' but in a modern house, it has to look like you don't!
