Florida Southern a monument to Frank Lloyd Wright architecture

There's a lot to like, and to learn from, in this little piece -- and some unique photos, which unfortunately can't be enlarged.

This quote is surprising: "Like the trees of the original grove, the columns were positioned 18 feet from each other. Each column, 6-feet and 9-inches high, sprout an elongated triangle that supports the overhang, edged in copper. Additionally, the triangular module is incised with a design mimicking leaves."

And, a restoration architect waxes nearly poetic in describing the form and structure of the Pfeiffer Chapel. Most enlightening.

It is unfortunate that, as more room was needed for this or that purpose, they chose to hire other architects, rather than adapt the unbuilt buildings FLW designed. The music building would have been exceptional.

Based on the one image posted, I would hardly call the building "stunning."

Roderick - it's interesting how a bot tried to rephrase your post from December
