Usonian

We should hear from the bank this week about the construction loan for the new house we're building. It is based on a Frank Lloyd Wright usonian, the Pope-Leighey Home which can be visited in Alexandria Va.

Here's a link to the original

It didn't come up blue, so it may be best to cut and paste it. If we get the loan then this blog about building an old design that is so radical it is hard to get loan approval, will continue. Otherwise I may have to write about my new old-fashioned broom which I love so much.

Okay, here's a little lecture which is almost straight out of a Lloyd-Wright house tour. The odds are greatly in your favor that at one point you have lived in a house that was directly derived from Mr. Frank... The ranch house common to most post-war suburbs, is a descendent of the usonion. That's it for now. I have to go de-gunkify the stock simmering on the stove.
