Thanks for sharing Andy...as I said before: the house is, alas, a poisoned gift...you'll be spending hundred of thousand of dollars to just maintain the structure. Lloyd Wright Jr. may have the proper philosophy: i.e. the house has to have an owner, but I don't know of any business man that will sink (loss) that much money in a structure (albeit worth keeping) without some kind of return (I don't think that renting it for a few movies a year will cut it). What I'm worry about now is that no-one will buy it...and then what? Hopefully, someone will step to the plate...hopefully  |

That is damn sexy. I've never seen that photo before. Did you take that Art?

I wish!
No and you've reminded me that I didn't credit the photographer. 
there was a problem with linking to Flickr so I rehosted it.
coryfischer took it.
Here's the set:

I know it would be traumatic for FLLW (if he was alive today)to see his houses dissapear altogether...but knowing how much Japanese are fans of this American architecte I have no qualms seeing " La Miniatura" go to Japan and most probably with the same care as to reproduce the kind of gardens and reflecting pool that is now part of the whole experience of owning that house  |
