Perhaps another house worth throwing in the mix is the recently restored Boynton, the date for which Storer gives as 1908. If his drawing/scale is accurate, that cantilever appears to be something like 23'. The veranda floor is level with the interior space floors. Interestingly when the veranda was...

Nakoma and Nakomis Bronzes
I recently stumbled upon 17 1/2" bronzes of Nakoma and Nakomis, licensed in 1974 by the FLlW Foundation, at the Zaplin Lambert Gallery in Santa Fe. Edition of 500. $7500 the pair. Although I know the large ones at Johnson Wax and have seen ads for "cast stone" and ceramic versions, this is the first...

A previous commenter wrote: "It is easy to navigate the grid street pattern of Oak Park. Riverside is broken up by the river and parks and seems designed to limit access." That is exactly the reason why Frederick Law Olmsted designed Riverside as he did. From the book "Frederick Law Olmsted: designi...

I would definitely take the train to Kyoto, the former capital, and visit the Katsura and Shugakuin Imperial Villas. They are each country villas in superb informal gardens, very sensitively sited and designed. You can imagine lots of Wright inspiration in them. Both probably take reservations made ...

RE: Richardson. Mrs Richardson told me "My father suggested that we screen in the carport for a porch. He noticed that this is where the workman sat to have their lunch because it was shaded by trees and cool." She also said they were terrified when Mr. Wright came to visit, but he never said a word...

When I was there about 20 years ago: -the site has been filled and leveled as shown in the realtor's photo -the high wood fence on the "open" side of the house encloses an in-ground swimming pool set in a wood deck.
