My wife and I had the opportunity to visit Cincinnati the first weekend of this month. She decided she was going to enter in and run the "Flying Pig Marathon", as it is known. Afterwards, we had the chance to visit with the current owners of the Boulter House. They were very kind and gracious to us and were very generous in according us so much time with them - and in allowing us to experience their wonderful home. The house is in terrific shape and am glad to report that it is another case of a Wright home 'finding' the right owners. They also happen to be blessed with many pieces of original furnishings, too. In many ways, the home reminded me of the Penfield design - one major difference, though, being the second floor balcony on the interior, which reminded me a bit of Bachman-Wilson.
Penfield is another example of that plan type. They may be a bit snug for a lot people, especially with families, but I find them very livable and among FLW's best. A variation on the theme would be the McBean/Rudin Erdman #2 pre-fab, which is considerably roomier.
