I talked to an electrician that said he worked in the basement of the Martin House. This certainly doesn’t look like what he was explaining to me. He described a network of conduits. Is that under the floor? Is there yet another level under that level? It would be cool to see pictures of the restoration.
This video doesn't show the entire lower level. We are working on some new videos to show some of the mechanicals over the next few months so stay tuned!
It’s nice to see at least one house got a basement out of Frank Loyd Wright. He designed wonderful, beautiful things, but no basements and no garages are “no go “in my book. Sorry, Frank.
The vertical opening between floors, combined with the opening transoms in the basement serve to move air through the house by natural convection.
Mary, Thanks for sharing, it's a wonderful space. The sewing machine is a "New Home" machine a vibrating shuttle turn of the century machine.
