I declare this a modern house-off!

Other than the awful tan lines I’d wake up with after snoozing on the patio, I love this place. Here’s a somewhat modern one everyone seemed to love when I posted it last summer. Note:this is just the garage at the top of the driveway. There’s another full garage at the bottom of the driveway, by the lake, Main house, and guest home.

And... Inside the garage.

Mid-Century Modern is the best modern*.

*Structural issues not withstanding.

They may demolish the only FLW building in the state of Montana. While it is unique, it is well past it’s prime and in dis-repair.

Well that’s a damn shame. Is it the only one remaining? Article says there are two other in Montana.

There’s a beautiful home here (Chicago) that is built in the style of FLW, one of many - sure, that my wife and I want to buy. But with a list price of $11.5M, we probably need to win the lottery or something :(

I still have a thing for this crazy place:

Especially the entryway, the font on the numbers pushes it over the top:

And it apparently sold for a pittance compared to places in my area:

I might change out the carpeting as I prefer hard floors, otherwise, I’d preserve it.

It is a shame, but I also acknowledge that it’s just a building at the end of the day, and an average one at that in a very high rent district where a mixed use development could generate considerably more income for the community.

Very true, and very good points.

That would not fly on Nantucket, conclusively proving it’s the better island.

You know FLW had a home in oak Park right? You can tour it, they even sell Lego versions in the gift shop.

That house needs a 60 Lincoln sitting out front.

Yep, been twice. My wife is, for some reason, against me having Lego sets.

That house is a trip. I love that it’s such a time capsule inside, too.

It wouldn’t fly anywhere, it’s a house.
