More snow, more photos from Anthony McCune.
I’m a sucker for Usonians in the snow, so here is a group of nice pictures of the Dobkins House resting lightly on the Winter landscape.
The New York times has an article on the Duncan House, the newest opportunity to rent a Frank Lloyd Wright house for an overnight stay. Nicely done.
On one level, staying in the Duncan House was a trip back to the 50s. We tried out the period furniture — an Eames chair, a Formica kitchen set […]

In July, I mentioned that the Lovness House (though, with 20 acres, it’s more of an estate) was for sale. Here is the listing for the property.
If you happen to have the $3.75 million, remember that I still have contacts, and can get you a discount on your title and escrow services (or, we could […]

For health reasons, Dr. Christian won’t be at the reception at the Westcott House this Sunday.
The event is still scheduled — interpreters from Samara will be on hand to discuss the house.
Note that the Westcott House is organizing a trip to Samara on April 5 — if you live near Springfield, Ohio, this would be […]

Either it’s new, or I never noticed it before, but the Bernard Schwartz House has an updated website, with a longer History page (with a few historical photos of the home in a nearly-but-not-quite-completed state), an expanded photo section, rental information, availability and a schedule of tours (first sunday of every other month, $7, reservations by […]

The Westcott House in Springfield, Ohio is hosting an exhibit on Samara, a Usonian in Lafayette, Indiana:
This exhibition features the work of America’s most celebrated architect through an exciting collection of drawings depicting many of Wright’s most famous buildings as well as furnishings, textiles and other items designed for Samara, one of the late Usonian […]

Anthony McCune has taken a camera into Canton, Ohio’s snow for pictures of two Usonian homes. A Usonian in the Winter is a beautiful thing.
I’m tempted to head over to Oberlin on sunday and take pictures of Weltzheimer-Johnson house.

The (Cincinnati) Enquirer has an article on the William P. Boswell House in Indian Hill, Ohio (a suburb of Cincinnati). The home has had only two owners, and house has never be photographed for publication, or opened for a tour. It is currently on the market for $3.4 million.
The Boswell home is cradled in the […]

Here’s a newspaper article on the Muirhead Farmhouse, (often, erroneously, said to be Wright’s only farmhouse — what’s Talesin if not a working farm?) and now operated as a bed & breakfast in Illinois.
The article is typical for post-holiday filler — which explains why I’m linking to it — but not totally uninteresting.
Sarah said […]

The award, which has been presented since 1999, recognizes local Hoosier advocates of historic preservation and their work. It is the highest honor […]
