Re: For sale: Alfred Browning Parker house - West Palm Beach, FL
It doesn't appear to me to have particular elements that shout out ABP's involvement to me, but there is a lot going on and obviously many modifications over the years, so its truly hard to offer a definitive yes or no (although, with only the images, I'm leaning heavily towards no). Property record...

Re: Restoring the World’s Only Frank Lloyd Wright Planetarium
I have always found it very curious that Wright located the entirely interior focused planetarium at the end of the Science and Cosmography building complex that had the best panoramic view of Lake Hollingsworth on campus.

Re: American Systems Built homes
The entire Journal of Organic Architecture + Design issue Volume 3, Number 2 (2015) featured Wright's AS-BH opus.

Re: For sale: Alfred Browning Parker house - West Palm Beach, FL
Actually Roderick, ABP was involved as an architect in many speculative housing developments in the late 1940's and throughout the 1950's where he designed many homes similar in size and price point to this one. However, all that I know of were designed and built in the Miami Dade County area.

Re: For sale: Alfred Browning Parker house - West Palm Beach, FL
Very curious . . this might be another example of another realtor trying to attach a name to a house to sell it. There are certainly remnants of mid-20th century modern elements but there are also certain tells and clues that aren't consistent with ABP. Certainly this one could have slipped through ...

Re: Source of quote used by Ayn Rand
I haven't found it in any of my At Taliesin files. During my research for my book At Taliesin in the early 1990's I found almost 300 At Taliesin newspaper columns that were written from 1934 to 1938. I'd love to learn which At Taliesin column Shoshana Knapp Milgram found it in.

Sad news for sure. Bert Goderstad was a class act! He will be missed.

Maybe this particular Lloyd Wright designed house isn't the best example. Picture this . . lets say the Rose Pauson opus was extant but faced impending demolition. Would you think it okay that it be moved to Pennsylvania just to save it? Or the Guggenheim moved into the middle of Central Park or Chi...

I'm uncomfortable with moving a house to save it . . its a slippery slope, especially with regards to Organic Architecture. I understand that it may be the only solution at the end of the day. And I know its not a decision made lightly. But I'm still uncomfortable with the end result. We learned aft...

I had a friend and colleague in Fort Lauderdale, FL who, without fanfare or self-promotion, sought to visit and photograph all of Wright's extant works. It was his own deeply personal quest. Unfortunately and tragically cancer ended his ability to reach that goal on December 17, 2014. He almost made...
