Wright Chat

Over the years I have been fortunate to stay at many of the FLW rentals: Haynes, Schwartz,Penfield, Price Tower and in the "Gold Room" at Taliesin and at The Desert House - Taliesin West ( designed and built by former apprentice Kamal Amin ) and the Petersen Cottage. All of these present o...

I find it highly unlikely that anyone and I mean ANYONE at T.A.A. or its subsequent independent firms would have had ANYTHING to do with this....AND THE HITS JUST KEEP ON A COMIN......

Greetings Laurie : My wife and I stayed at T-East in, I think the Gold room - 2002 along with a stay at the Peterson Cottage. It was late June, early July. I might have photographs. Are you looking for images ?

This is David Dodge's house. David was an apprentice and has been on Staff for many many years. This house is north and slightly west of the main bldgs at T-W. It is on a private road which leads past many apprentice shelters, as well as the house designed and built by Kamal Amin during his time at ...

If anyone comes to Arizona and wants a tour of T-W, let me know. I have been a volunteer docent for over 20 years. It has been rewarding to know people such as Wes Peters, Dick Carney, John Rattenbury, Arnold Roy, Ken Lockhart, Cornelia Brierly, Bruce Pfeiffer, Indira Berndtson - to name a few, alon...

Nice article in the Sunday N.Y.Times Automobile section ( contained within the Sports section ) about FLW and his automobiles. From the beginning Wright was on the cutting edge - Cord L29's and of course the customized Continentals. One of my favorite photos is of that Lincoln @ T-West, parked next ...

the only FLW house in Stevens Point is the Iber Residence, a 1957 Erdman Prefab - - the house in question could have been from an apprentice...

If the Prairie Ave Bookstore closes, will this leave Hennessy & Ingalls in Santa Monica, CA as the ONLY architecturally oriented retail facility left in the U.S. ?

Isn't the Cheney House a B&B ? At least I thought it was operated as such, perhaps in the early 1990's.

Just reported from the Re/Max realtor - - the house closed at $2.8 million.

Perhaps the question I am trying to explore is : * To what extent, if any, was Olgivanna involved in the continuation of the FLW "brand" ? Yes, we know that Wes Peters, Jack Howe, et al continued the process of organic architecture via Taliesin Associated Architects, but what was her role ...

" When I go to heaven and meet my husband, I can look him straight in the eye. I kept his memory alive." O.W. So, let me throw this out to everyone. If there had been no Olgivanna - would the fascination about FLW be as strong as it is today, some 60+ years after his death ? What other arc...

Watch out ! Here is a thread that could easily go to 30+ pages ! Olgivanna. No one is ever non-committal. It is either strongly PRO or without hesitation, CON. I never met her so my impressions are only from speaking to both camps and also from what I have read. My random thoughts and my personal op...

Ditto all of the above and let's face it - this is with out question, the best site to discuss all things related to Wright and Organic Architecture. As a reader for many many years before I began to post, I continue to find the contents insightfull, intelligent, well presented, and containing on oc...

have some people who will look into it and will report back - might take a day or two
