The glassy midcentury house

I hope this project will stimulate the economy The glassy midcentury house where Cameron Frye had one of beautiful film's greatest conniptions in the greatest playing-hooky story of our time, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, is now on the market for $1.65M. Designer by architects A. James Speyer and David Haid in 1953, the cantilevered steel-and-glass property offers 5,300 square feet of living space and floor-to-ceiling windows throughout. Word of advice? Make like Cameron quick—"I am not going to sit on my ass as the events that affect me unfold to determine the course of my life"—and scoop this one up fast before Rooney gets word of your mischief-doing.

"I hope this project will stimulate the economy," said Canon U.S.A. chief executive Joe Adachi after the beam was raised in what will be the 668,296-square-foot building's data center.

Canon U.S.A., currently in Lake Success, plans to move into the new facility by the end of 2012. Adachi said Canon will employ more than 2,000 people at the new building.
