This porch has to be one of the more handsome ones, with a wonderful sense of shelter that Wright had designed. It surely is right up there with Meyer May.

I expected Peter Gunn to come through the door.
I didn't see a price?

The music was ungodly annoying along with the low resolution of the video.

That godawful video is from the 2009 sale. From Wikopedia:
An extensive restoration project (both inside and out) was completed in 2012. The two and a half year restoration project was undertaken by the present owners of the house, Francis J. Cosentino and his wife Jane E. Parker, who purchased the house in 2009 for $830,000. The progress of the restoration work was documented in a Rochester, N.Y., Public Broadcasting Station channel WXXI program entitled, "Frank Lloyd Wright's Boynton House: The Next Hundred Years."
The Rochester, N.Y. based architecture firm, Bero Architecture PLLC, was the lead firm in the restoration of the house.[6] The outdoor space was designed by Mark H. Bayer and his team from Bayer Landscape Architecture, PLLC, Rochester. All of the windows and other glass in the house, including light fixtures and glass-fronted cabinet doors, were painstakingly restored by glass artist and Wisconsin native, Jeffrey Mueller, owner of Godfrey Müller Studios, a glass restoration company in Rochester. The existing Wright designed furniture and all the woodwork in the house, some of which had been painted over time by previous owners, was meticulously refinished, repaired, and restored by Eric Norden, owner of Eric Norden Restorations, in Rochester. The new furniture was designed in the spirit of Wright collaborator, George Niedecken, from designs for furniture in other Wright designed Prairie School homes. Darryl Gronsky, an interior designer in Rochester, along with the input of homeowner Jane Parker, referred to Niedecken’s designs archived and in the collection of the Milwaukee Art Museum, Milwaukee, Wis. to help select and purchase materials and fabrics for the renovated home. Bero Architecture had the new furniture in the Niedecken-Wright spirit manufactured. The cost of the restoration was over $2 million.
The house is part of the East Avenue Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

A wonderful long visit with the owner, his wife, and the many craftsmen who helped with the major restoration. Every piece of interior trim -- some
24,000 feet of it -- was removed and refinished. The front porch, with its extravagant cantilever, was finally rid of its enclosure -- thanks to the lady
of the house. Its dropped floor and lowered parapets were returned to their original forms. 55' foot steel beams, 15" inches deep, support the cantilever.
In the dining room, on the other hand, the 27' span of the bump-out space was spanned with an 8 x12 in Wright's drawings; a 6 x 8 had been substituted
during construction, according to the owner. Both these sections seem woefully undersized, don't they ?
New furniture was made for some rooms. The designs of George Niedecken were consulted. One built-in seems more in keeping with Pasadena
than with a Wright house; whether or not Niedecken ever designed such a piece, it certainly has no place in a Wright structure, it seems to me . . .
I hope the issues with the soundtrack on the video will be dealt with. Or was I the only one experiencing them ?
