Bavinger House
The Bavinger House was completed in 1955 in Norman, Oklahoma, United States. It was designed by architect Bruce Goff. Considered a significant example of organic architecture,〔Form prepared by Arn Henderson. (National Register of Historic Places nomination form for Resources Designed by Bruce Goff in Oklahoma ). Accessed May 6, 2015.〕〔 (Excerpts available ) at Google Books.〕 the house was awarded the Twenty-five Year Award from the American Institute of Architects in 1987.
==History==
The house was built over the course of five years by Nancy and Eugene Bavinger, the residents of the house, who were artists, along with the help of a few of Eugene's art students, volunteers, and local businesses.
The Bavingers moved into the house in February 1955, and ''Life'' magazine featured the house in its September 19, 1955 issue.〔 〕 Despite its remote location, the house became an attraction; the Bavingers first tried to limit visitors by charging a dollar per guest. ''Life'' reported that the tours had yielded over $4,000, and eventually (according to Goff) they raised over $50,000 before finally deciding they didn't want to be disturbed by the constant flow of guests.〔Philip Welch, ''Goff on Goff: Conversations and Lectures'' (University of Oklahoma Press, 1996), ISBN 978-0-8061-2868-9), pp.193–94. (Excerpts available ) at Google Books.〕
The house later deteriorated and was vacant for more than a decade before it was reported in 2008 that the house would be renovated and reopened for tours. According to press reports, fundraising efforts ran into difficulties.〔〔 〕 In June 2011, after a windstorm in the area, it was reported that the house had been severely damaged, with its central spire broken at a 45-degree angle.〔 〕 The official website for the house stated that the house "will not be able to re-open",〔〔 〕〔 〕〔 〕 which was later changed to "Closed Permanently" and in August 2012 stated "The House will never return under its current political situation". The official site no longer exists.〔(Bavinger House official website ). Retrieved 2012-08-21.〕
