Berger told Wright he could afford no more than $1500 for the architectural fee and a maximum of $15,000 for the homes construction.
The house is built of stone, glass, wood and concrete, complementing the colors and shapes of the surrounding landscape and exemplifying Wrights concept of organic architecture.
Berger, the house is easy to maintain and living in it is like living in a work of art.
Professor Robert E. Berger, a faculty member at the Faculty of Arts and Science for over three decades, had a longstanding interest in European immigration.
After Professor Berger retired from the faculty in 1989, he continued to reside in the Queens home in which he was raised, and maintained a collection of materials and memorabilia on the subject of European immigration to the United States.
In his will, Professor Berger asked that his estate be used by the Department of History to support students, academic programs, and research in the field of European history with a special focus on European immigration.
