This is a very useful video, as little interior filming has been seen over the years.

http://sdrdesign.com/DA1907FabyanRemodeling.jpg The Andersons have acknowledged that they didn't always have the Sun on their side, as it were, when shooting Wright; no one was paying them to wait for (or to arrange their travel schedules around) the ideal time of day for architectural photography....

Good photos !

Thanks, Pat. Do we know anything about Heath's neighbor Coatsworth ? In Buffalo of the period I find only a prominent lumber and coal man of that name, living on Cottage Street.

http://sdrdesign.com/DA1904HeathResidenceParkway.jpg Today's DailyWright photo is study in reds and greens---or at least that's one way to enjoy it. How pleased the architect might have been, to see his building in warm early-morning light and in the company of some fine early-fall foliage. https:/...

http://sdrdesign.com/DA1902LittleResidenceGlazing.jpg Today's DailyWright photo of the Francis Little residence (Peoria, IL, 1902) shows the living room windows facing the street. The window glazing pattern is not easy to see---but another Anderson photo, of the stable (now garage) structure on the...

Thanks for that. I wasn't aware that there was a gallery at T West. Where is it located ?

All you need for radio is a great voice, I guess; having something to say is secondary. Occasionally you have a TV journalist who's the whole package: attractive, good voice, and with a brain. A new face appeared on Washington Week on Friday---new to me anyway---a Congressional correspondent from CB...

The PBS NewsHour is having a "moment" with masters of Midwest architecture, it seems. Tonight's PBS News Weekend contains a segment on a new exhibit of Dale Chihuly's glass creations, said to be the first art exhibit to be held at Taleisin West. https://www.pbs.org/video/chihuly-in-the-des...

One wonders what is left here that is Neutra. The mini-stone fireplace seems to match other stonework---bathroom and front wall---but those are almost certainly not original, and the fireplace has been painted. The wooden arbor/sunshade; the floors; the scored plaster exterior: all additions or chan...

Thanks for finding Storrer's version of the Blossom garage upper level---presumably as built ? The lettering on the drawing, and other details, tell us that this is a studio drawing, not one drawn from scratch for Storrer's 1993 publication. (He routinely leaves the original lettering when the drawi...
