The landmark report for Mathews contains interesting information and some photos we have not seen before. Presumably when the real estate listing comes out we will see more.

The National Register of Historic Places Registration Form for the Mathews residence, the work of Waters, Turner and Schwarz, contains a veritable novel of description---of the property and the house, of Wright's work in the Bay Area, of his way of working as it applies to this building and others. It could hardly be more thorough, and contains one of the best summations of "organic architecture" that I've seen. I take the liberty of copying that paragraph here.

Amazing... This is the very first time I see something about Mathews, especially its interiors..!! When this hidden gems goes for sale it's the only chance to see a lot of pictures. Is there already any link about this house for sale with pictures like happened with other estates?
