In 1964, well-known furniture designer Adrian Pearsall built a 10,000-square-foot home on a two-acre property in Forty Fort, Pennsylvania. The current owners, David Koral and Toni Crevo, graciously allowed me to capture all of its special qualities on this instant, mid-century medium.
Built-in wood shelving made of black walnut and ceramic lighting fixtures (designed and crafted by Pearsall) add interest around the living space. Teak paneling and marble countertops also provide a touch of class. It is interesting to note that during Pearsall’s residence, he utilized a wood shop and a ceramic kiln on the premises.
Homeowners David and Toni have done their best to maintain the integrity of Pearsall’s mid century design. After a devastating fire, they carefully restored the original materials, thereby preserving the legacy of this historic dwelling.
My experience in photographing the Pearsall residence was one of “mid-sensory” overload. Both rewarding and awe-inspiring, it left this photographer grateful for the opportunity to showcase its original craftsmanship and charm. Without a doubt, this is a one-of-a-kind gem, currently on the market for sale in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
