This should be a petition to save the Wright House and its entire property, and nothing else. Wherever one stands on other political issues of the day should not come into play at all.

It is very uninformed for the developer to think that the house could be moved! Did he not read John Thorpe's article http://www.prairiemod.com/prairiemod/20 ... moved.html on this topic?


DON'T FORGET to get your wife/girl friend/family to sign too.

Signed, posted to facebook (I know a few Wright fans that look at my profile). I really hope they don't go the way of Buffalo with the Larkin Building!

I have a photo of the courtyard master bedroom facade somewhere on my computer -- it keeps showing up on Screensaver -- but I have no idea what its title is. Any way of getting that directly from the screensaver ?

Oh wait -- I just got a copy of David Pogue's "Missing Manual" for my new software. Maybe it's in there somewhere . . .
