The Bogk Table is not by Wright. It's TAA from a 1960s remodel (Taliesin Apprentice John Ottenheimer supervised this remodel and you can actually see this table design in situ in the HABS photo from the 60s.) http://i67.tinypic.com/2411bwl.jpg Stuart got the table from when the Elsner's put the tabl...

The lettering on that alteration plan is much, much different (more indicative of the high-Prairie period) than the other drawings. Early to mid 1900s?

Those down spouts are very unfortunate...

Stumbled across this photo of the entry to Taliesin circa 1934-36 likely taken by Sim Bruce Richards and thought I'd share:
