*The dates of the Hejduk designed houses featured in Five Architects differ from the dates given for the same houses published within the May 1975 issue of A+U magazine, which specially featured the work of John Hejduk 1954-74. The names of the houses also differ: the 1966 One-Half House in Five Architects is the 1967-70 House 14 (1/2 series) in A+U, the 1966 House 10 in Five Architects is the 1967-70 House 15 (3/4 series) in A+U, and the 1968 Bernstein House in Five Architects is the 1968, 1970 House 17 (Bernstein House). Since the dates within A+U are more specific, they are then likely the more accurate, plus the A+U dates coincide with the dates Hejduk himself gives to each project within a sketch on page 285 of Mask of Medusa.
