More recently, one of Trumbauer's New York houses has been
singled out for praise by a widely admired contemporary
architect, Philip C. Johnson. "The Duke house," he has said,
"is almost more dignified than its French forebears. It is
the one revival house that is a total success."
--James T. Maher, THE TWILIGHT OF SPLENDOR: CHRONICLES OF
THE AGE OF AMERICAN PALACES, p. 368.

[Otto asked Maria, "Philip Johnson didn't die yet, did he?"
"No, he's still hanging on, but, who knows."
"It would be great fun to have him talk at the convention
about creating one's own virtual museum of architecture ."
"Oh dear! Whatever you do, don't tell your brother. He's
already mad enough as it is."]
