Such a cool house and property.....and for an original FLW in the condition it appears to be in with interior furnishing designed by him...the price seems a bargain! Thanks for sharing

I am swooning. I am pretty sure I could not live in the frozen North anymore, though..

Also helps to be short with few possessions. (Whoa, that's me in the mirror there!)

Here's one of several FLW inspired homes in our neighbourhood.

Yeah - sometimes it's way more romantic to THINK about owning / living in a historic home than it is living (especially as we do today) in a historic home...

Had my personal financial situation been different, I wold have been VERY tempted to buy this house before it was demolished - it would have been so cool - but I most likely dodged a huge bullet by being unable to swing it. (So now we build something that is "practical")

Funny about the furniture. I thought the same thing....really cool to look at, but didn't look at all inviting to actually sit in.

I do love the windows and how the house just seems to fit perfectly on this property. That's my dream home one day....not necessarily a FLW one, but one that is 'nestled' among a wooded area .

I grew up in Minnesota but now live in Texas. I too could no longer live in the frozen tundra. My blood has thinned and I like warmth year round!

Wright houses have always been very specific in how Mr. Wright thought about them and designed them. In most cases, the houses were very site specific, i.e., they were conceived and designed based on the specific sites where they were located. No generic plans or designs!

Mr. Wright also felt very strongly about where the major spaces and expense should be: in the spaces which were to be commonly shared and used by the entire family. Accordingly, kitchens, bedrooms and other individual spaces tended to be small and spare.

He also felt strongly about sight lines and interior spatial sequences, often resulting in visitors to the house entering, and then turning at least 90-degrees and seeing the interiors across a diagonal view, resulting in the interior spaces creating a variety of experiences and seeming to be much larger than they actually were.

He has often been criticized for some of his technical details, especially rain leakage, but no one has ever criticized him for lack of creativity or imagination, as far as I know.

We live near a fellow who was a student of FLW, and designed and built his own house in the Usonian style. All the furniture, too, both free-standing and built-in. Except for two chairs in the LR, both from Stressless. It's the only place they sit lol!
