My Address Book

My life in 17 homes over 60 years.

“Houses have always played an important part of my life. Not only the houses themselves, but their addresses. When I was a little girl, my mother, who was an interior decorator, often used to take me and drive around town looking at neighborhoods. She taught me the concept where a person lived revealed a lot about them.”
