Follansbee Unit

Another studio was done up for Mr. and Mrs. Rogers Follansbee by Interior designer James Eppenstein. The Follansbee’s also had a Tudor revival house in the suburbs designed by Eppenstein, and used this as their downtown pied-a-terre for nights out at the club or long days at the office as was the original intention for these studios.
