The Glass House Names Kirsten Reoch as Executive Director
The Glass House announces the appointment of Kirsten Reoch as the site’s fourth Executive Director starting September 11, 2023.
Reoch is an experienced nonprofit leader with expertise in cultural resources, preservation planning and managing complex historic facilities and operations with high public engagement. She currently serves as the director of capital planning, preservation, and institutional relations for the Park Avenue Armory, a city, state, and national landmark in Manhattan.
“I am delighted to welcome Kirsten Reoch as the next Executive Director of The Glass House. Her work at the Park Avenue Armory, where she has played a central role in restoring one of New York’s great works of architecture and helping it to become one of the city’s most exciting arts venues, underscores her broad range of skills. We look forward to having her warmth, her sharp critical insights, and her strong administrative leadership as The Glass House takes on the challenges of restoring its Philip Johnson buildings and continuing its role as an essential place not just in the Town of New Canaan, but in the architecture and art community across the world,” said Paul Goldberger, Chair of the Glass House Advisory Board.
Reoch is returning to the National Trust as she began her career in historic preservation at the Decatur House, another National Trust Historic Site.
