Sally Sherwin Book
2019 - ongoing
A book to celebrate the wonderful interior architect who shaped modern Houston in so many surprising ways.
First I fell in love with Magic Island, the Pharaoh of the Southwest Freeway, then I discovered Walsh designed its innards: the Wilson Stationers Office Furnishings Building (with John Bertini, 1970).
Then I fall in love with the all but abandoned mid mod compound at 1953 Richmond, Taylor and Keeland, 1954, former studio of photographer Fred Winchell, only to find out that Walsh lived there for years.
She chose the furniture in my office.
