Wright Chat

I can’t share any stories about the Lambersons and their experience with the kitchen, but I can tell you about ours. It works perfectly for us with the exception of two things. The laminate countertop doesn’t allow hot pots or pans to be placed on the surface, but that could easily be...

The Rosenbaums enlarged their kitchen (call it what you will), among other alterations, a few years after they moved in. When Mildred R was the docent corps at her house she said that the original was barely usable once her children outgrew baby food. They kept it as a kind of museum next to the re...

Well I'm sure many of you like Wright's usonian kitchens or "workspaces" as he liked to called them, but I'm sure many more doesn't like it. Does somebody have true stories of how people (Rosenbaum, Pope Leighey, Baird, Jacobs and most I think) used to cook or what they thought about it? O...

Yes, it confuses me, in the perspective it seems that the roof goes up but in the elevation the roof goes down..!!

Thanks so much ..!!!

This is the first proposal by Wright and rejected by Boswell. Interesting too

The person who bought the house from the Boswell family after the original owners had died, significantly altered the kitchen/laundry/servant/playroom wing, maintaining the integrity of the design. One of the last houses to escape publication beyond Storrer is Goddard. Yes, you're right, maybe we s...

There is less on this house in the common references than on many other Wright homes; W A Storrer is unusually terse: Holy SDR ..!!! Always you..!! Thanks for the plans and pictures..!! I just ask myself if there is any Wright building that you have not anything about it haha. Greetings from Ecuador.

Hi folks, does somebody have information such as plans, pictures or stories of this private residence.? There is only one video on youtube (at least) but no more. It's one of the biggest usonian houses Wright designed but there is not enough documents available.

It seems that this house is one of the favorite of many people and was looking for info of it, but there is only few pictures of the exterior... So please if you have floor plans, section, pictures... share us... by the way... why is so adored..?

Juan, Friedman interior photos have been posted here somewhere. Go to search, and good luck! Of the so-called Teepee Houses, Friedman is by far the best. The living room is spectacular. I have searched here by Friedman, Arnold Friedman, Fir Tree but there is nothing, in fact appears a looooot of po...
