Re: FLW's Forgotten House
In my hometown, there is the Sindt House (813 2nd Ave. SW, Pipestone, MN) probably of a similar age to "Forgotten," which has a stucco finish on part of the entrance similar in look to the Murphy pebble stucco. Although now painted, it appears the original stucco is still there 100 years later. It looked perfectly intact back in the 40s and 50s. I wonder if that particular pebble look was used for standard stucco or if the Murphy approach could actually have lasted this long?
