I can understand that the house feels like a prison but would it be better to it looks more like a factory than a prison. Maybe prison on the inside and factory on the outside I don't know.

SDR I went onto the Oklahoma registry site that has all buildings in oklahoma that have been nominated or registered and Westhope was registered anyway the page states that the house has 2 desks,benches, bookcases,dining room divider and a storage unit that Wright designed.

I have spell check although you say there isn't one. Who here on the chat group has a Mac (Apple Computer). I do and it is wonderful.

Samara is a very beautiful home never been but have seen pictures. I am going to go to Samara sometime. I guess I have this misconception of thinking "you know homes are built for allot of people why not open them up to the public" that is usually how I think about public houses. I have been to Tali...

I am with ya on that. The Building Conservancy should help bring it back to its original form and the City as well.

I have a couple of questions... Was there any Frank Lloyd Wright furniture in Westhope? What other furniture is in the house? Are there any interior photos of this house?
