Also, if we look at those black & white images from the "American Architecture" book notice the view of FLW's bedroom terrace (the image directly after the screened porch photo). There is a large urn perched on the far right corner of the terrace railing wall. I think that same urn app...

here's the context in which we find that cool extra-horizontal corner window: https://i.imgur.com/8zZPt1L.jpg Here's my snapshot of that window from the inside (taken 2 years ago). We may be able to infer how it is constructed -- we see part of one horizontal muntin seemingly detached and sagging. S...

I'm thinking that possibly that photo immediately below the screened porch view is of FLW's bedroom terrace before he started extending it like a telescope. (That would put it in the vicinity of when Hedrich Blessing took that sweet batch of 1937 photos and FLW's bedroom had the roaring inferno in t...

here are a few other photos of Taliesin that appear in "American Architecture", which aren't the typical ones that show up in other places. I'm struggling to place the last one:

Regarding that photo above, looking at that sliver of a window on the left edge of the picture: I'm guessing that might be a Taliesin window. If so, I wonder where in the building complex it was, to be so close to that vehicle -- it appears to be some sort of rickshaw (?). Top hat and smoking? What ...

This raises a good trivia /research question: It's my understanding that Cherokee Red became FLW's signature, go-to color preference beginning with spotting of the red car during the Fallingwater design process -- as late as when he was almost 70 years old. Along those lines, when did the FLW adopt ...

I feel like I've seen just about all the old photos of Taliesin in the books and websites, but then I see an image new to my eyes on someone's Pinterest board. It reminds me of the interesting 3D model of our thread. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/114841859233046789/ https://i.imgur.com/Z0hMMQF.jpg h...

Manuel Sandoval

While looking at the link on another new thread about some blueline prints of the Robie house for sale on ebay, my eye was caught by another artifact on the same ebay page. It is an FLW signed letter and a post card to Manuel Sandoval (pertaining to his work at the VC Morris gift shop). https://www....
