Starkey House

The Starkey House, also known as the Alworth House, is a residential house in Duluth, Minnesota, USA, overlooking Lake Superior. The house was designed by modernist architect Marcel Breuer in 1954 and 1955 for June Halverson Starkey (née Alworth).[1] The building's design references Breuer's hallmark bi-nuclear plan, in which sleeping and living spaces are linked through the home's entrance.[2]
