Yeah, that’s why I threw the link on there. Kinja isn’t cooperating at all this week.

Apparently “The Place” is where the buffalo roam. Or bison - hard to tell.

I’m not sure it’s you that I had the Frank Lloyd Wright discussion with here, but I’ve seen dozens of his buildings and homes. He claimed to hate flat roofs until he didn’t - there was a model for a show and then the Usonians and Fallingwater. I was lucky enough to get a tour of Jacobs I in Madison WI, a private home.

Probably, the Canadiens are all cousins, but I don’t know exactly.

Yep, Wright was always right I still need to make the trip to Fallingwater and Taliesen. I’ve seen several of his houses though.

Also, the Jacobs house is the best of the Usonian houses, I’m jealous.

You design things?

You also need to see Kentuck Knob, 10 minutes from Fallingwater. And take the first, early tour at Fallingwater - it’s the most complete.

I do, lol. I actually have built work too.

One of those friend-of-a-friend things ... it’s surprisingly spacious inside, but he never cared about kitchens, and it showed. The one at Taliesin is tiny.

I needed it finished so I could start applying.

They tend to be servant kitchens, so they’re purely functional. The one at the Dana Thomas house is very sparse.

No doubt Wright was a complete genius, and a complete asshole. There are people who live in Spring Green who still talk about him owing them money when he died.

He was a showman, completely ahead of his time. Wildly eccentric, but astonishingly self aware. And yeah, always in debt.

I played a Bach 2-part invention for my tour group at Taliesin on his old Bechstein - one of the most expensive pianos of its day (and still). They don’t heat the house in the winter, so the piano is all but firewood, but I managed to drag some music out of it.

That’s cool. He was quite the pianist, he built some pretty interesting performance spaces into several of his houses.

Taliesin has an auditorium, and there are concerts there. It’s worth going. Not sure about Taliesin West - haven’t been.

Taliesin west has one too, albeit semi outdoor, I haven’t been there yet.

Back in 2004 I was out there on business - the client put me up in a fabulous hotel . I was about 30 minutes away from Taliesin West by car, but the asshole I worked for said I could not delay my flight. I no longer work for said asshole.

It’s cool that you can stay in the Price Tower in Bartlesville, OK. It’s the only one I know of.

I stayed at the Cheney house in Chicago once - basement apartment, but still cool. Not sure if the guy does it anymore.

Yes it is, especially when you’re the one doing all the fab work too.
