    • نبذة مختصرة :
      An icon of modern architecture is on the auction block, despite last-minute deals and pleas from Chicago business leaders and preservationists who aim to keep the Farnsworth House forever on its grassy rise beside the Fox River. Despite its place in architectural history, the Farnsworth House is not protected by landmark status. It can be moved, torn down or altered. Its vulnerable status is a disappointing setback for Chicago, Illinois philanthropists such as former Sara Lee Corp. Chairman John H. Bryan and former Illinois first lady Jayne Thompson, who have been trying for several years to raise money and lobby elected officials to keep the Farnsworth House in Illinois.
