The Bradley House they call it. In Kankakee, Illinois. Frank Lloyd Wright. Right there on the river. I will let the pictures speak for this house. Federico took images as well. His are the bigger wider shots. I have focused on the detail. John is a huge fan of Frank Lloyd Wright but not a huge fan of Camera House so as usual he and The Matriarch made sure not to be caught on camera.
And for all its size it is a house of small spaces. Drifts of gentle slopes against hard edges. Every surface micro designed. Every decision a comment. Every single key hole has a cover. 
Beside this house is it’s sister house also designed by Wright though it is a private home. Not on the tour.
Both houses were built at the same time in 1901 when Frank Lloyd Wright was 33 years old.
Another world.
You know I love it when you all talk to each other.. and I think it is hilarious when you steal a thread. because in the summer I do get busy and though I avidly read every single comment often I do not have time to answer all your lovely words, which does make me sad. This is why I am always happy to see you talking to each other. The Fellowship is good like that.
And while we are at it I am also happy for you to steal any of the images that I produce withOUT prior arrangement.
I hope you all have a lovely day. It rained last night too. Cold rain. The crops are coming up into a mire.
Love celi

Beautiful!
My oldest son is on a little vacation with his group home this week. They are staying at a Frank Lloyd Wright home in Milwaukee.
The photo of the soggy field looks much like ours here in Oklahoma. We were lucky in this region not to have damage from tornadoes and hail, but the rain sure has flooded many areas. I’m wearing my muck boots a lot these days!
Have a splendid week ahead C!

John must visit Mason City, Iowa, to see all of the Frank Lloyd Wright architecture there: http://mnprairieroots.com/?s=frank+lloyd+wright
Love your mix of images. Detail and wide are perfect to tell this story of place.
I love all the wood, the windows. And I’d love to tour the sister house across the street! 😉
Such designs. Bold. Simple. (although not always sturdy enough for the long term with some of his structures, I understand. )
Would like to see them for real…real places have presence and a texture of life.
