Re: Sure, we can call anything "Frank Lloyd Wright"
Interesting. Looks like Watson picked more from Lautner and Dyson than Wright.

George Maher Blinn House goes public.
The only Maher building on the West Coast, which has long been used by the Women's City Club of Pasadena as their private headquarters, has been gifted by the club (which dissolved last year) to Pasadena Heritage. This may make the house more open to the public. Why such an event matters? The house ...

Re: Light variation
Geiger was obsessed with Hillside. He made many drawings of it, and wrote about it. I never saw much of this, but assume it has gone to U of M with the rest of his archive.

Re: Any Recognize this Usonian Window
Turner, as builder of Christie, would not have had anything to say about siting. That was Christie's choice, apparently.

Re: Any Recognize this Usonian Window
Only volumes 11 (Preliminary Studies 1933 - 1959) and 12 (In His Renderings 1887 - 1959) would include images specifically of the perfs, and there are none.

"Off market"
That didn't take long.
Paul, do you know anything about this sale?

Re: Any Recognize this Usonian Window
G/W proves that, however delightful they may be, perfs are not necessary. Christie and Baird are also sans perfs and delightful. Perfs were not even intended for Baird. On the other hand, while perfs were intended for Brandes, it was built without them; they were added much later. In this case, I be...

Re: Any Recognize this Usonian Window
There was a sizable stack of Storer blocks behind Lloyd's own house, but he never used them in that residence.

Brewer is a refinement, close in quality to Chahroudi, but better in its choice of materials.

Re: WBG's Blythe House is coming on the market
Blythe is one of WBG's best houses. The interior is splendid. I visited in 1984 on a house tour during a Society of Architectural Historians annual meeting in Minneapolis. Although the bus tour to Mason City and back - by way of Winona, Rochester and Owatonna - took place on May 1 and 2, the trip to...

Re: Olgivanna Lazovich Lloyd Wright: Opinions & Perspective
Most of those who were relieved had left long before Olga died. She was polarizing. Some apprentices practically worshipped her, and they were likeliest to have stayed after FLW died.
