After a quiet romance, Steichen married the actress Dana Desboro Glover in March 1923 in Blairstown, New Jersey, where Dana’s family owned a farm. From 1928 on they lived together on a large farm in West Redding, Connecticut where Steichen continued his extensive work in plant genetics, breeding award-winning delphiniums and other flowers. A strikingly modern glass home they built there continues to garner praise for its extraordinary siting and craftsmanship. Up until 1927, they also spent a part of each summer at Steichen’s home in Voulangis. Dana Steichen died in 1957 after thirty-four years of marriage. (quoted from E.S. Estate)
