Here are plan drawings of the two levels of Jacobs II. These drawings are found in "The Frank Lloyd Wright Companion" (© 1993 by William Allin Storrer, The University of Chicago Press), p 293. The drawings should be credited to William Allin Storrer. There is a scale indication in the lower right-...

People say all kinds of things, don't they . . . Lets's look at the orientation. One of many gifts Prof Storrer gives his readers is a north arrow for each plan. Well, the living-room glazing faces south and east---so unless they were talking about early evening daylighting, I'd say this is no wors...

(We must get Tom a rubber stamp that says "Never seen or heard of this one before" !) (Mine is back-ordered at Amazon . . .) :D With nearly 1200 projects that Wright did. There is always something unknown or hidden. That's why I love Wright... it's a limitless source of knowledge and inspiration..!!

First of all I see the Realtor plans are not well drawn at all, the triangular columns in the ground floor still...

Thanks for the link; for all that's been written about these floors, I've never seen the process on film before. Another new red slab appears at the moved and rebuilt Bachman-Wilson house. Some photographs seem to show separate squares---as if they might have been pre-cast and placed. Construction ...
