The New York Landmarks Conservancy states that the Kaufmann Conference Center was completed in 1964. http://www.nylandmarks.org/programs_services/technical_assistance/projects/edgar_j_kaufmann_conference_center/ And the fourth Aalto work in the US is the Woodberry Poetry Room in the Lamont Library a...

I had procrastinated about buying the book, but the iPad version convinced me. Glad I waited. It's nicely done. I like the fact that I can zoom in on the photographs (to some extent) without losing resolution. Thank you for your work on this book, and for making it available for iPad!

Second shot down in the gallery http://popeleighey1940.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/barrett-wl-27.jpg The trellis cantilever over the blank back livingroom wall is not there. anybody know the scoop on that? In 1969, after the first move, the National Trust published a book on the history of the hous...

In a 30-60-90 triangle, if the base is 1 unit, the hypotenuse will be 2 units, and the side that SDR has labelled as "2" will be the square root of 3. One of the few things that I remember from high school geometry.

Triguy, You can check the room rates and make reservations for the Inn at Price Tower through the Price Tower Arts Center website; www.pricetower.org, as well as tour times for the tower.

Wendy Evans Joseph designed the furniture, and the conversion from office space to hotel.

DRN, Seriously? That's great news. I'm sure that you will give the house the attention that it deserves. I have an anectode regarding the house: A good friend of mine had visited the house in the late 60s or early 70s when the Sweeton's still owned it. Mrs Sweeton told of one of Wright's visits with...

Rosalyn, The last time I was there, about three years ago, the bedroom wing chimney mass was standing at the corner of N 32nd St and E San Miguel Av. San Miguel Av curves around to become N 30th St and passes Adelman and Boomer. The chimney mass was relocated from the original house site and I don't...

Make that 25. The Heurtley house is also a national historic landmark.
