Architect(s)A. Quincy Jones

The Barn is a house built by architect A. Quincy Jones in 1950 as his personal home and office. In 2009 Jones' wife sold the house for US$2,000,000 to the Annenberg Foundation,[1] which uses the building as office space and for private events. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2023.[2]

Renovation

[edit]

The Annenberg Foundation hired Frederick Fisher to renovate the building after they acquired it in November 2009.[3] Fisher kept the building nearly original, only updating the ventilation and light fixtures.
