I have uploaded the Welbie L. Fuller House to the Warehouse. Due to the many inaccuracies I named it "Bridge House". I hope to redo some of these houses like the Carlson and Fuller Houses to be more accurate.
Here is the link

The module of the home is 4 ft 4 in not 4 ft.

The home included a bar-b-que pit on the first floor, going up the home had an interesting sofa with built in storage behind the back rest. It’s similar to Carlson but on a bit of a grander scale, in my opinion.

2019 revisit model.
Wood, cemestos, and concrete block textures see by me.
This is just the work in progress at the moment.

Interesting. Tell me about the diagonal floor texture ...

S

I just merely drew a board and repeated that then draped the lines onto the surface below. This will look better with wood textures. The floors are ponderosa or southern yellow pine.
The wood has an oil based coating with Johnson’s wax. This darkens the wood to the “Cherokee red� hue we see.

Through photos I was sent by Tulane I was able to match the colors to the best of my ability.

There may be a reason I never uploaded the photos of the home

Well, as usually with more than 1100 designed structures, there is always something "new". I had never heard about Welbie Fuller house. It was destroyed by nature but there is very few pictures and information. I found this topic so I didn't create a new one.
Could some one give us more information, shots, plans, drawings, stories? It looks an interesting house, maybe not beautiful like others but it has and interesting design.

The Fuller house has much in common with Wright’s Raymond Carlson house in terms of the frame and panel construction system.

I see there is not many info of this house. This house has 2 particular features: 3 story house and it's a bridge like house between the main house and the guest house. I don't remember a 3 story usonian house and 2 separated houses but connected at the same time. I hope someday someone could update this topic.

It should be noted Wright did design paired houses connected by covered passages on occasion…though an addition, Fallingwater and its guesthouse are an example.

Fuller was designed with the expectation that the site would flood. The house was raised a story above grade to that end.
