Wright Chat

thanks for posting ! Last time I was in Mason City (2007) , the status of the Park Inn was still in doubt. Looks like a return trip is in order.

Mr. Grant : I would like to communicate with you about the Allen-Lambe house via e mail. If you would like, contact me at : [email protected]

Thanks,
Michael

Greetings All and thanks for the information and comments. So glad I visited Corbin/WSU. You enter the space low, like Johnson Wax. A water feature separates the two main buildings, which are mirror images of each other. Low built in seating in the common areas. Some original tables still in use. Wh...

This coming Friday I find myself in Wichita, KS. Have scheduled a tour at the Allen-Lambe house. Has anyone on WrightChat been here ? Any tips ? Thanks.

Paul & SDR : I am in total agreement. What's with the re-naming ? Marketing mumbo-jumbo. I've been fortunate to tour here 3 times in the last 20 years. Not one of my favorites. Skip the wine and cheese and just sit and take in the beautiful Gene Massilink screens in the exterior pavilion. That a...

Just saw a post on FB from my friend Jay Pace. He was at the David Wright House yesterday and reports that all the old plantings, dead vines, overgrowth, bare dirt and dead grass have been removed. New lawn has been planted. He says the structure has been cleaned inside and out and that the preparat...

Since I am only 1 of 5 people on my block that still get a morning newspaper I thought I would report a nice article, front page above and below the fold, about the restoration project to be undertaken at T-W. Major attention to roofs, electrical and plumbing infrastructure. Bid awarded to Harboe Ar...

no, not NSA (well they listen and read it all anyway LOL ) But what is posted here is reviewed. Interested ? Just shoot me an e mail.

thanks for posting. This is the first time I have seen a model of Midway Gardens. The single photos certainly do not do justice to it.

I have some thoughts, but since I am a volunteer at T-W and know first hand that this site is monitored, I would not post my opinions on this subject.

Anyone wishing to correspond with me can do so at :

Always the busiest time of the year and great to report the tours were solid. My 27th year as a docent and the fun never stops in educating people about FLW.

Glad you enjoyed it !

I have know Michael Rust for many, many years and anticipate this will be an excellent and informative presentation. Send my regards.
