Architect Amore's 'Triangle' House Is On The Market For $1.5M

GUILFORD, CT — In 1971, noted architect Vincent C. Amore, a New Haven native, designed and built his northwest-facing Modernist seaside summer home in Guilford on the Neck Road peninsula just south of where the East and Neck rivers meet Long Island Sound.

The historic structure has triangular glass windows, a glass wall and a large wooden deck. Set low near the water, the house needed a granite sea wall be built.
