It was about Graycliff that FLW said, "A doctor can bury his mistakes. All an architect can do is plant ivy." Is this quote documented somewhere to show that it explicitly refers to Graycliff? I had always heard that it referred to the first building his aunts used for a school in Spring ...

Yes, I believe that current practice is for pre-stressed concrete beams, used in bridge construction, call for an unloaded beam to have a camber.

Since Fallingwater's concrete beams were poured in place this was not possible. They also pre-dated the concept of pre/post-tensioning.

I think many of us would agree to not include Ephraim Owen Goldberg or Charles-Edouard Jeanneret on the list of great architects.

According to John Geiger.

A fascinating place and well worth a special trip after they open later this year.

Looking forward to seeing the updates.

Seth Peterson Cottage basically splits the difference: rental most of the time with a once a month opening to the public.

my wife and I will be attending too.

Anybody here going to the FLWBC Minnesota trip May 1?
If so, maybe we can all meet for dinner on Friday night.

The story behind who had the collection and how they "acquired" it is also fascinating.

Does anyone know who the seller was?
