Thank god someone had the cash flow to bring this house back to it's original beauty not like it looks in this video but to the splendor that it once was and is again.

Yep true.

......IT'S STUNNING!!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS WONDERFUL TOUR!!!!!
IMHO: IT'S PERPLEXING, AND FRUSTRATING, THAT ALMOST EVERY AMERICAN HOME IS TOTALLY DEVOID OF ANY SENSE REMOTELY CLOSE TO THE "WRIGHT STYLE"!!!! WHAT A SHAME!!!! SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES, LOST!!!!!

I've always been intrigued and fond of this house from plans and exterior photos, but hadn't yet seen any of the interior, and my reaction to its looks are mixed. I've always liked F. Ll. Wright's use of built-ins like the banquettes below rows of windows, here with storage underneath, dressers, etc. This is one smart and unique design, even by today's standards, and I'm glad the interior is no longer a mystery to me. The bare concrete block, however, seems shockingly spartan and unfinished, not at all what I expected. Perhaps it's not as brutal when the house is furnished, but empty, the spaces seem somewhat drab and dreary. Still, it's a wonderful home that I now understand much better-- thanks for sharing the video.

What kind of interior *did* you expect??? You do realize that FLW almost always used the same materials inside and out? That's why he called his architecture 'organic'.

[@HistoricHomePlans]

I get your point. But I think you're right about the furniture. Wright would have decorated it with rugs, interesting upholstered furniture, perhaps a Japanese style painting on the walls. Also, as much as I appreciate this video, I don't think any video does justice to the comforting and comfortable way spaces flow in Wright's homes, or convey the cozy scale. He was a master of combining cozy nooks with long vistas. Videos rarely capture that essence.

I like the concrete block on the outside, but the inside looks like my dark concrete block basement.

[@chenchodelsur5670]

I can visit?

[@davidazinger5639]

the home needs our support? looks like it needs an architect !!!!

[@poopypants814]

[@vernonsanders9611]

Awsome never at looking at wrights designs

[@gregghanson6095]

This is such a strange perspective. We never see the exterior and thus have no context for the interior.

[@markheld5788]

The new owerner's wanted to tear it down to build house's

[@North49191]

don't like the exposed block
