Little John Gray Jr., three months old when these pictures were taken in 1947, has seldom been outside of this glass house in which he lives. His showcase home was temperature and humidity controlled, dirt-free and has a built-in air filter. It was partially sound-proof-he could bellow without straining the family nerves.
 |
| Just for a picture, papa and mama break a rule: they lower the house’s glass walls. |
 |
| Papa Gray sets the heat control thermostats... |
 |
| and adjusts the indirect lighting. |
He didn’t catch cold; visitors couldn’t pass their germs through the glass and the house’s temperature never varies from 84 degrees. At the slightest deviation, a bell rings. There were no draughts and neither was there the fear of smothering; there were no bed covers. Papa John Gray Sr. built the ingenious baby house in the workshop of his home in Sea Cliff, Long Island, New York.
