That's a very thorough introduction to the house, in a novel format. Congratulations and thank you to the maker !

Agreed. Well done using a variety of photographs. Notice how the upholstery of the living room couch changes color. The accent of the narrator adds a certain charm as well.

The cantilevered elements of this house and of the Lindholm service station by Wright, built within a couple of years of each other, appear to share a structural element, namely a pair of Lally columns as the fulcrum of said cantilevers.

1953 !!!
What a great house. Imagine moving in and living through the next 10 years there.
America, some might say, at it's peak. Downhill from 63.

Language of the house NOT possible without the career of FLLW.

We need to recall that, like many another house, Wright or not, a porch or balcony was enclosed to provide more interior living space. See black-and-white photo above on this page.
