You are quite right, it is a wonderful place. I have visited here twice, the first time twenty years ago inspiring a life long interest in Wright's work. You will love a trip to Fallingwater in Pa, and see what you can in Buffalo. Tomorrow I am off to California to see those structures open to the public. I'd love to visit the Johnson Wax headquarters too - someday. Each building unique, and all related as they all connect back to this extraordinary man.nickmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00638662425726894361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-11036141232765936952010-08-15T19:10:08.240-04:002010-08-15T19:10:08.240-04:00I love this house, thanks for posting the pics.

In general, this is not my favorite kind of architecture but one that I've recently come to like more and of course totally appreciate!Amanda By Nighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01910620012465381103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-51000851897418898192010-08-13T23:18:46.131-04:002010-08-13T23:18:46.131-04:00@stay-at-home-dad, this particular house did not h...@stay-at-home-dad, this particular house did not have the Martin or Coonley patterns on the windows. Most of the windows were on the rear of the house, which is where I took most of the outside pictures. I believe it's one of two FLW designed houses in all of New England, so it was a real treat to see. <br /><br />@cantueso - when I speak of low class I do not mean how much money one has or their status/background. I mean the fact that Lady Gaga is usually half naked in public and gave the middle finger to the crowd recently at a baseball game. In my opinion, that's not a "lady."Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122952408610512684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-41122033096995476652010-08-13T19:26:49.380-04:002010-08-13T19:26:49.380-04:00Pam, the FLW homes are indeed beautiful; thanks - ...Pam, the FLW homes are indeed beautiful; thanks - I have never explored Zimmerman. I am a huge fan of FLW's interior signature stained window patterns, particularly Martin and the Coonley playhouse; did you see any of these light screens or doors in Zimmerman? I was going to add a custom sidelight to my new home that added such a Craftsman touch to my already geometric, deco taste. And as you say, since his homes did have limitations for casual living. Even if I could afford one, I'd probably prefer to buy a look alike home - there appears to be quite a few available still.<br />stay-at-home-dadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-68832202300014183462010-08-13T12:56:36.189-04:002010-08-13T12:56:36.189-04:00This looks like a cool, interesting house.

I'm glad that you enjoyed your visit there.LaraAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15460415207474314306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-12258160400817379482010-08-13T10:11:29.302-04:002010-08-13T10:11:29.302-04:00thanks for posting.

I am Swiss and live in Spain so that my ideas of class are not so clear anymore. I do not think I could easily tell low class from high class in the US........<br /><br /><br />No insult intended.anagastohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12173541768886884924noreply@blogger.com
