Wright Chat

Every ding and scratch has its story, and there are already so many little stories that we've added. And one of the biggest was contributed by a friend and guest who ironically happens to be an art history professor. Carefully handling important paintings out of their frames while wearing gloves doe...

A ding in some wood, some dirty paint, a broken mirror? None of that alters a footprint, creates an unnecessary addition, or muddies history. The house can be lived in (just look at photos of Wright's own houses, filled with signs of life and even schmutz and clutter). If she would have described ho...

They tricked us!

"...That provides interesting context for how the White House official characterized TASS publishing the photos. “They tricked us,� the official said. “They lie.�..."

Comey was fired because he asked for more resources to investigate the Trump administration. It's that simple... Trump using the tools of democracy in bad faith. Or is it because he's a responsible fiscal conservative, and he just determined that we can't afford it? Yeah, that's it... https://www.ws...

Freeman was the original client/owner of one of the Los Angeles textile block houses.

David- I was just looking at this photo and thought about the contrast of wood and desert rubble in Wright's architecture. This photo of Elizabeth Gordon at Taliesin West in 1946 might be of help in determining more accurate colors for the Smith house: https://www.curbed.com/2017/5/10/15592658/eliza...

I'm not sure that Wright designed a garage for a residence after the Jacobs house. Anyone?

SDR, while McCain is still hostile toward Trump for being unkind to him, Graham is totally on board with the President. Totally onboard, or one foot on a life raft?: http://time.com/4772661/lindsey-graham-president-donald-trump-russia-investigation/ Graham is now politely requesting what we have be...

I can't imagine that Mr. Wright would be dissatisfied with this paving. It's a permanently raked, tidy Zen driveway minus the weeds and dust. The only downside might be the cost and drainage. Real gravel allows for water to slowly percolate through.

The indecent, humiliating act of firing a career person on TV with no advance notice, no in-person meeting. That alone makes Nixon look like a choirboy. 45 is a terrified, sick man. The headlines around the world will be "Trump fires FBI director in charge of investigating him." Welcome to...

Time for an independent special prosecutor. Smells like rotten coverup...

So... Comey fired? Comey showed incompetence around the Hillary matter. That was absoloutely no problem for Trump, but now that Comey has confirmed the investigation of Trump-Russian ties and said that the investigation will continue to the bitter end, he's gotta go. Nixonian tactics only increase t...

The bed joints were ground after hardening, not raked while wet?
