It was totally cool, and built in 1939. Wright designed the furniture as well, making it out of plywood (which he loved, apparently).
They say Wright concerned himself only with the aesthetics of his creations. When one homeowner complained that the flat roofs leaked (as did this one), Wright replied that the homeowner should get pots and pans to catch the water. |
I worked for one of Wright's former star pupils. He had some very good stories of Wright...I like the one that you mentioned.
