VISIT + DISCOVER : More stays with FLW

Thanks to my friend, Calvert Wright. I now have a list of Frank Lloyd Wright houses that are available for rent, a short stay or just to soak up legendary architecture. You might say I'm such an archi-geek but after reading this New York Times article, you just might make a stay at a FLW house part of your next vacation plan. I know I will.

A quote from the article describing The Duncan House in Pennsylvania (top picture),
"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 — and examined the Duncans’ original Osterizer blender and suitcase-sized Grundig radio, which must have been one of the first with push buttons. But what I found more striking, especially in contrast with memories of other houses from that era, was how much Wright’s designs seem not so much of their time as outside of time."
