lieb house...on a barge


Lieb House
The house was designed by Robert Venturi and his wife Denise Scott Brown and built in Barnegat Light in 1967 is best known for the huge number 9 on its front, and the sailboat-shaped window on one side. Robert Gotkin and Deborah Sarnoffa a Long Island, N.Y. couple purchased this home in early March 2009 for just $1 to save it from demolition. They had to pay at least $100,000 to move it on a barge from the Jersey shore to their home.
