How about exploring MacIntosh if you haven’t done so already? BTW that’s the site plan of the Martin House in Buffalo in this vid, not a house in Chicago.

Thanks for pointing that out! I appreciate the clarification about the location and plan. I'll definitely consider exploring MacIntosh further. It's always exciting to learn more about architectural gems, no matter where they're located. Thank you for joining!
