Wright Chat

I suppose that's more or less typical of museum room displays. I understand that the Little living room at the New York Met is similarly inaccessible. And what of the smaller Little room -- where is that housed ? It's like museum chairs, perhaps. Conservation is king. I wonder if some future hologra...

Ah. From the source. Thanks !

How did it end up in Britain ? I've forgotten. . .

I was not aware of any bad feeling between father and son. . .

Have I missed something ?

I printed out the map with the six sites indicated. I don't often see a map of these Great Lakes states -- Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, western New York -- where so much of Wright's work is built.

Yeah, those. English-language narration, but some French text. The director is named: Frederic Compain. The title is given as "Le Batiment Johnson". . .

Did you note that the Johnson Wax video (3 parts) accessible thru Mark Hertzberg's link was originally in French ? http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5535390029859620200&q=frank+lloyd+wright&total=465&start=0&num=10&so=1&type=search&plindex=3 It should show up at the...

Odd. . .

That's one of the nicer little videos about the house. Some of the photos are unique views. Anybody know who the male speaker is ?

SDR

Ah. So there you have it. . .

I'm still wondering if this, from the Wikipedia page mentioned earlier, has any bearing in fact: "He even purchased a portion of Drummond Island in Michigan, where he created a private resort complex featuring buildings designed in the style of Wright." Does Domino's still own the building...

Right. This page mentions a "life-changing event."

The biographical information I read indicated that Monaghan was brought up in his religion, and had a deprived childhood -- perhaps as an orphan ? At least that is what I remember. Not sure where I read that. . . SDR Ah -- here's something: http://www.nndb.com/people/639/000059462/ http://www.avemar...

That's our boy ! I resisted the urge, more than once, to buy a used copy of the impressive book devoted to the Domino's building. In it are drawings and photos of the building and its interiors, which include a private apartment for the owner -- something probably not on the tour ? There is some int...

I believe you're both correct -- and thanks for the correction. Of course, this is intended for wood with a good coat if varnish or other finish; I don't know if oiled or waxed wood, or "dry" wood, are good candidates for this treatment.

Is liquid TSP a water-based preparation ?
