Re: Charnley House restoration

A book has been written about the controversy over Sullivan vs Wight as the architect of both Charnley Houses without coming to a conclusion. I still say Sullivan didn't have the talent in residential design to design either of the houses and that FLW did them both with a nod to "Lieber Meister...

Re: Winn House in Kalmazoo, MI

It looks like four structural items in tension have been attached to the strange support to the Winn carport roof, but the Lally column at the corner remains.

Re: Last surviving original client in-situ

I would (in my humble way) include 5 of the architects on that list (Frank Lloyd Wright, Jean Nouvel, I. M.
