Great, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I plan on attending. Too bad more people cannot visit the Bott residence. Maybe it will be open some time in the future.

Wow! This is one of the most stunningly beautiful Usonians I have ever seen. Even though it does stretch the Usonian ideal to the limit. The photos from the realtor's site are great. Very large. I wonder what the original construction budget was? I would guess that the owners had no problem keeping ...

Thanks for the suggestions. I have the Usonian book by Sergeant. There is one picture that shows the framing, but it is too dark and grainy to be much help.
