Wright Chat

I saw some information about the Concannon Residence today in PrairieMod's daily email. After reading the disheartening story about the demolition of Concannon, I clicked on a few links in the story and came across this video, which for some reason I found oddly intriguing, so I am sharing it here f...

Wow, Kevin, that is great stuff. I'm glad I came across the info about this house tour and posted it here, as it seems to have started a conversation that might otherwise not have happened. One of the many great things about this forum is the depth of knowledge and experiences amongst the participan...

Is anyone familiar with the Prairie style works of Wolfe & Wolfe in the San Jose, CA area?

After reading this latest article, especially the comments from one of the new owners, it appears that the concerns we expressed here earlier are indeed still well founded. I still smell something fishy here, and the odor seems to be getting worse.

While the reunion itself is for the Taliesin Fellows and their families only, several of the weekend's events are open to the public. Scroll down to the bottom of the page for the details.

Welcome to the coversation. Now that you've put your toe in the water, so to speak, why not just go ahead and take the plunge? Hopefully we'll continue to hear more from you.

Having many friends and acquaintances of Scandanavian origin here in the Great Lakes region, from what I know of this expression, it is usually spelled Uff da, is it not? In addition to different spellings, it can also have multiple interpretations, covering an entire emotional range from amazement ...

Nicely done, Paul.

Let's hope that Mr. Malone's response is sincere, and that there is indeed more discussion about the identity of this project. I agree that the product itself has merit and warrants interest, but the direct connection back to FLW is tenuous at best.

RGrant- Thank you for pointing this out, and please accept my apologies for being presumptuous enough to think that my response represented the thoughts of our esteemed group as a whole. My intent was not to put words into the mouths of others, but rather to try to mollify the situation. Please cons...

Thanks for the kind words.

FYI, for those in the area (John C. this means you) there will be an open house at this property on 6/24.
