I need to correct a entry I made a couple of years ago when the Wetmore design was discussed. The error seems to have continued with these latest posts. The monograph volume that has the Wetmore design is #7, not #8 as I reported before. Sorry for the misinformation. And for rcthewes, I emailed copi...

Boy oh boy, that Hoffman house is gorgeous. Of all the homes I have visited over more years than I can remember, this home has always been my favorite. I place the A. Adelman, Mossberg and M. M. Smith homes right behind on my personal list of favorite built FLLW homes that I have seen.

The CD ROMS were by Luna Inaging, Inc. of Venice, California. When I was looking to make a purchase back in 2005, I was able to find a new copy for the list price of $1,500.00. I was willing to make the purchase until I found out that they would not work with the Windows XP operating system. I do no...

To Tony Collins (see entry above). At the risk of unleashing more venom of much of the membership (I think), I for one would enjoy seeing photographs of your "Wright-Inspired Ranch" being posted for all to see.

I am in complete agreement that these volumes are truly a great set. I also obtained my set as each volume was released and I waited in anticipation for each one. They are proudly displayed on my bookshelf and I still have the protective boxes each one came in. I remember receiving one volume (I don...

The local public radio station in Detroit (WDET) broadcasts a show called Front Row Center every Sunday. The show today included a discussion of FLLW and the Turkel house. To listen to the show just contact www.WDET.org and click on Front Row Center then today's date.

You can sugar coat it anyway you want, but when long term employees are let go and are escorted off the site it does not feel humane. I just hope they were given good references to aid them in finding future employment

This is going a little off subject but it helps one understand how word gets out that a unknown Wright home is discovered in a community where none was ever built. The local paper where I live mentioned in the police blotter a short time ago that a Wright designed home fell victim to a attempted bre...

I apologize for problems with the above link. Once you have entered the site and it asks for a MLS number, type in 3410563. That should take you to the listing for this home.

I would agree that very little if anything remains of the original FLLW plan for Wetmore's, other than the concept of having a automobile placed on the second floor for viewing from the ground. The FLLW plan did not include having the automobile extend out over the ground without a ramp below the fr...

I completely agree that the elevator was most likely put in at the clients request. I think the clients of this project may have had many more requests and those requests my have influenced the overall design in a negative way. I had a discussion several years ago with Mr. E. Thomas Casey about the ...
