You know what it is. I needed a brown one. 
Postmodern clock, 1984. Word on the street for the last 20 years is that Memphis is the next big thing. Maybe it's time?

The house was meticulously restored, which included the recreation of the original furnishings(based on Schindler's plans). This happened in the late 1980's and/or early 2000's (conflicting sources).
