Wright Chat

" a 1979 document now on the state historical commission website " claiming Wright as designer should be displayed by the property owner; I'd like to see it. We don't often get written evidence of misattribution, do we ? SDR I checked the historical commission website and could find no re...

Did they cite Fox Mulder ("I Want to Believe") as a source?

The Turkel house was used in the 2012 remake of "Sparkle." It is seen for a fraction of a second at about 1:40 and 2:13 of the trailer on the official movie website: http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/sparkle/

I didn't see a reference to Wright, but it noted that the house was designed by Charles R. Stinson as his own home. I like the use of color as an accent - similar to what Alden Dow did with his work.

I also see in his narratives a desire to satisfy the clients' needs, even when...

"Along with his lawsuit, Herber asked the judge to appoint an attorney to represent him. He said he has tried to find a civil rights lawyer in the area, but none are willing to take his case." So the takeaway of the story is that no lawyer will touch this with a ten foot pole. Lawyers wil...
