The very modern Van Groll House is International Style, or, more specifically, De Stijl, in its massing. The owner has a significant collection of De Stijl furniture. Tulley, who taught at the university from 1968 to 1994, was perhaps the most accomplished modernist to practice in central Virginia. He designed a number of important houses, most of which are inaccessible; hence this is a chance to view a real masterpiece.
