Wright Chat

I have the book, but am too lazy to photograph it now (plus I've don't have the touch that SDR has...) But it brings up an interesting point: There are strong similarites between the Bazett and Lamberson living rooms... The alcove cabinet aka ("keep"): (By the way, Stafford just discovered...

No, the alcove was originally designed as it is now: built in shelves terminating at a cantilevered desk, with recessed cabinets below, and the triangular cabinet above. (Wright named this cabinet the "keep" on the plans...) Inside the upper cabinet is a recessed spot for a very unique oct...

Thanks for your kind words. Well, for my sake, I'm relieved that you didn't bid on the house! The Alsop house around the corner, as built, was a much larger, more expensive and elaborate house than Lamberson. The house suffered different abuses than Lamberson, but unfortunately much more devastating...

First of all, I want to apologize for sending redundant images, but I just figured out how to post the larger images, so I thought I would get a little practice in, and maybe the larger sizes give a better idea of the house...By the way, are these TOO large for your screens? I can't figure out how t...

In regards to photos documenting the tables sans glass, just look a bit earlier on this thread (page 8, photos #47 and 50...) Our tenant/caretaker became so afraid that she would scratch or dent the top that she would eat using one of the hassocks as a table. She asked me if we would mind if we coul...

That's one of the things that I have found to be a big plus in having a Wright house in a small out of the way town. (no offense intended, Oskaloosa...)

The security considerations at these houses in major cities must be mind boggling.

And this converter would not be seen, even with a very tall opening? I'm thinking here about our Lamberson fireplace which is a "walk-in"...

For woodburning fireplaces...

Ok- It seems that there is a growing consensus that the effect which a fireplace has on us is something so profound, that it can not really be replicated by another substitute. If this then is true, until the time arrives when it has become illegal to use a wood burning fireplace, what are our optio...

Maybe a "Pacemaker"... In fact, that sounds oh so 1958, doesn't it?

Interesting that two Chadwicks would both design circular sofas? What are the odds of that? Or is the sofa a Nelson piece?

You scored...
