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...

There was a sizable stack of Storer blocks behind Lloyd's own house, but he never used them in that residence.

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...

For FLW's attitude toward the race, see the segment in Cornelia Brierly's book, about the visit of Paul Robeson to T-West.

Poor John C. Calhoun. Not only has he been tried and convicted retroactively for his impolitic support of slavery, in Minneapolis, that bastion of PC, the largest lake in the city, known since 1839 as Lake Calhoun in his honor, was renamed Bde Maka Ska, a Dakota name ... or maybe an Ioway name ... n...

Odd how all of this has come to light 107 years after the fact. Numerous sources have said no one knew anything about Carlton's motives, that he refused to talk once he was apprehended.
