HOUSE BEAUTIFUL
The Dining RoomDate: 1897 Title: House Beautiful - February 15, 1897 (Digital) Published monthly by Klapp & Company, Chicago)
Author: Anonymous
Description: "Successful Houses. III. How often does the architect, while creating the most beautiful effects for others, attain a satisfactory result in his own house? The mind which can plan and originate for a living, seems inadequate when it comes to planning for pleasure alone. Though often good enough as far as mere laying out of rooms goes, the homes of many architects, which naturally should be demonstrations in taste are uninteresting, commonplace and lacking in originality, Why this is so is difficult to say... As recent impressions of the house of Mr. Frank Wright at Oak Park are very strong it will serve as an example of the exception. Here is a case where nothing has been done hastily or carelessly, and every room has been arranged with the intention of obtaining a complete composition..." Includes five photographs of Wright's Oak Park Home. (Note: These are some of the earliest images of Wright's home on record.) (Sweeney 26)

The Play Room, East End
The Play Room, West End Date: 1899 Title: House Beautiful - December 1899 (Digital) (Published monthly by Herbert S. Stone & Company, Chicago)
Author: Granger, Alfred H.
Description: "An Architects Studio. When one attempts to describe almost any modern building, the first question to be asked is, "What style?" ...One of the most radical of these opponents is Mr. Frank L. Wright, whose house and studio I have the privilege of describing... One's first impression of the dinning-room is its simplicity - no rugs, no curtains, and only the necessary furniture, which, however, is in perfect harmony with the room. One entire end of the room opposite the fireplace is practically of glass, laid in leading of a very delicate design, which was evidently inspired by the lotus flower. The harmony of color between the brown and the red is perfect, and is accentuated (if one can accentuate a harmony) by the color of the walls and ceiling, which are covered with arras of a soft brown, and which give to the entire room a golden tone such as one sees in a rich sunset. In the center of the ceiling is a design of exquisite tracery, through which at night a soft light filters, and gives to the whole room a warm, rich glow. Includes 11 photographs and illustrations.

Author: Colson, Ethel M.
Description: "A Yellow Dining-Room". The Warren McArthur house. "It is difficult to decorate a dining room successfully, and this for a variety of reasons. Softness without dimness, warmth without stuffiness, simplicity without bareness, and plenty of light with no suggestion of either garishness or glare, are apparently conflicting demands by no means easy to reconcile.
The dining-room of the Warren McArthur house at 4852 Kenwood Avenue, Chicago, is so nearly perfect that the tale of its carefully planned attractions should be useful to others. Evolved slowly, with the aid of much thought and study, and many experiments, the scheme has individuality and charm. Certain minor problems in connection with the beautiful room remain to be solved. Fifteen by eighteen feet in size, it is distinguished by a large, two-sided corner window of southwestern exposure, so planned and arranged that it can never be shadowed by encroaching walls or obstructions. Its quaintly leaded panes swing out upon the flower garden just beyond. A door directly opposite this window leads to a spacious and convenient pantry. Opposite this door, again, is a double door of leaded glass similar to that in the window, and the fourth corner of the room is occupied by the duplicate..." Continue... Includes two interior photos.

Like most institutions that outlive their originators, House Beautiful was stared as a crusade. Our birth was influenced by six widely-reprinted sermon-essays entitled "˜The House Beautiful," written by William C. Gannett in 1895, and printed in 1896 in a deluxe, edition designed by Frank Lloyd Wright." Includes two photographs by Fred Lerner of the cover and inside spread of The House Beautiful.

Amberg was Meyer May's father-in-law. In Storrer's early editions he lists it as S.166. A design for the Amberg House was published in the Western Architect of October 1913 under Von Holst's name, with Marion M. Griffin listed as Associate.

Author: Pope, Loren
Description: Pope Residence. "The Love Affair of a Man and His House. This story of what a modern house means to its owner came to house beautiful unsolicited. We held it for more than a year before we decided to be brave enough to publish it. We say brave because it will make a lot of our readers very angry. But since it is true that the house is so much more then a shelter, we think people ought to know about it. (Pope:) For six years we lived in a truly modern house, designed and built for us by Frank Lloyd Wright, the world's greatest Architect and one of its greatest man. And because there are many people to whom honest, organic architecture is and uncertain venture, we want to tell what it has meant to us. What we have found is this: it is the only kind of house fit for man to live in. It is not expensive. It is the best kind of home investment. It is far and away the most practical. It is the only kind that has anything to offer the spirit and finally, the lending public is way behind the buying public in its standard judgment of what kind of house is desirable in valuable..."

But we can safely predict that it will be as beautiful and livable, as thoughtful and original as everything this great designer has done." November 1955, p.349.

Description: "How Fresh and Fitting Is the Furniture of Frank Lloyd Wright in Traditional Rooms. There is a warmth, richness and dignity in traditional furniture that we cannot - and should not - give up. Yet there is often a time when we should welcome the change, freshening up, as it were, of our rooms, if it did not mean sacrificing all these fine, traditional values in the process. Here, we believe, you can see the virtual miracle of the furniture of the world's greatest modern designer at ease, at home, yet always itself, in an atmosphere field with the familiar furniture of the past. Might one say these pieces by Frank Lloyd Wright - the chests, the tables, the open shelves - seem to bring more life, more warmth, more richness and interest to the traditional pieces then they had had without them..."

Description: Restoration of the Celeste and Socrates Zaferios Residence, Blauvelt, New York. (1961 - S.410). This was one of Marshall Erdman's Prefabricated homes #1. Rewriting History. It's every architecture lover's dream: You're strolling through real estate websites and stumble upon a Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian house, still inhabited by its original owners, in virtually the same condition it was when Wright approve the plans almost 60 years ago. "Being the cynical New Yorker, I didn't believe it at first," laughs Manhattan - based designer Sarah Andersen-Magness. " called the realtor immediately and asked, ˜Is this real? If it is, I want to come see you today." " Suffice it to say: The house was indeed real, and now here Andersen-Magness is, two years later, telling the story of her pain staking renovation while perched on a sofa that Wright specified for the home (one of three prefab models he designed with Marshall Erdman). Includes 11 photographs of the home by Adrian Gaut.
