Wright Chat

There are no square feet in the Hanna and Palmer House (among many others).

The street-to-plaza conversion was not successful in many of the towns it was tried. Oak Park being the first example that comes to mind. State Street in Chicago is the second one that I can think of. These two were re-converted back into streets. In this situation the street is less than a block lo...

Frank's Eatery was new to me too since our last visit a year or so ago. It looked closed because the entire street is torn up. It kind of looks like they are going to make it into a non-driveable plaza instead of a street with parking.

Faubus is Fabulous!

7500 sq. ft. Ranch with yellow flagstone floors throughout and Wrightian vocabulary with 6 ft (not 2') wide hallways.

I liked how the ceiling banding in the dining room flowed out through the windows to form the ceiling of the porte-cochere.

What about the Trier House. I read that was based on the Exhibition House. True or False?

Yes, the Feiman House is unoccupied and has been for many years. I believe the owner lives in NC. He started some exterior restoration work on the eaves and appeared to stop in mid-project. The Wright on the Park auction raised about $75K. Total project cost for Park Inn/City National is said to be ...

Jeff,
Look in Storrer for the Feiman House. It is supposed to be derived from the Exhibition House.

Wasn't there a gentleman who used to attend the Conference on a regular basis who owned parts, or all, of this house and had it stored somewhere? I don't remember his name or where he had it stored. Anyone? You are correct. Leonard R Wisniewski of Martinton IL purchased the disassembled house from ...
