Wright Chat

STUNNING, ABSOLUTELY STUNNING JOHN!!! I celebrate every time I go by. You have made the Ravine Bluffs subdivision complete and have finished the most unique house of the Ravine Bluffs lot--based on a rectangular plan rather than square. Thanks for the kind comments Paul Ringstrom. You and your wife ...

We were able to tour the home today. We parked in the next door church parking lot and went through the door connected to the lot. We were not obtrusive in any way to the neighborhood. I had seen the home from a distance previously and was happy to be close and upfront today. It looks like a coiling...

We were at Taliesin West today and informed Iovanna passed away in a California nursing facility. May she rest in peace.

I am in possession of digital copies of the original plans for my Frank Lloyd Wright home. I would like to have certain plans digitally manipulated and enhanced so they can be printed in a manner similar to the quality of the Wasmuth Portfolio and then framed. If you know of anyone who can help me w...

Thanks HOJO & Paul for your help.

If anyone is selling individual Wasmuth Portfolio pages, I am seeking one for the Mary M.W. Adams House. Thank you.

John:

Nice job on the front porch of Goodrich! It was fun to visit two years ago and talk with the nice owners. The progress since that time is very noticeable. The inside was coming along well when I visited and I am sure it has moved forward in a meaningful way.

Another Wright work restored!

Peter: Thanksgiving in your beautiful home must have been great! Awesome work!!!
