apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Minneapolis is a beautiful city (in the summer).

A friend of mine from high school grew up in one of those more modest Wright homes on the shore of Lake Minnetonka outside Minneapolis. I think it had originally been more of a part-time lake cabin than full-time home.

I must have one -- but can't I have one closer to NYC?

Mid-C Frank: this one is in NY

That house was executed much later -- see my comment there. There are some in Pleasantville, NY -- and I've been in the on on Staten Island. There are few others in the burb -- Stamford, Rye and New Canaan -- but ungodly expensive if they ever come up on the market.

Here's a link to other FLW houses on the market:

I'm going to Taliesin this summer. I'm going to the Johnson Wax Company Building too. I'm so excited.

Seriously, I'm surprised they don't cost even more than they do. I would expect his drawings to go for as much as some of those houses, but what do I know.

If you haven't been to Fallingwater, you really should plan a trip. Absolutely spectacular and magical. Imagine that place on the market.
