Thanks. A useful addition to my understanding of a compound I've not visited, now presented in all its as-designed glory. The entry approach to the main house, with its severely understated material palette and formal presentation (in every sense), makes a good case for the idea that Wright may have conceived of his structures, during the Prairie period, as "closed compositions" -- self-contained worlds ? -- available to the visitor on a "try to gain access if you must" basis . . . !
