About 1905, Emil Carlsen built a home and studio in Falls Village, Connecticut, while maintaining a residence in Manhattan. This followed several years living in San Francisco where, at the request of Mary Curtis Richardson, Carlsen succeeded Virgil Williams as director of the School of Design. He shared a studio on Montgomery Street with Arthur Mathews, a close friend whom he had met in Paris. He was an active member of the Bohemian Club during his four years in San Francisco.
