So discovered Elizabeth Halstad, the owner of a late-1930s Wright House that needed roof repairs. In the summer of 1988, Elizabeth asked me to examine her home – especially the roof. So with Ann Arbor architect Marc Rueter, I investigated and found three areas of concern..." Repairing the Goetsch-Winkler House roof. Includes 15 photographs and illustrations.

Description: 1) A Wright House in Rochester. (The Boynton House.) More than 30 Years Ago, Jane Parker saw her first Frank Lloyd Wright building-Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Arizona-and the way it evoked serenity and harmony never left her. At about that same time, Fran Cosen-tino came upon the Boynton House in Rochester, New York. The furthest east of Wright's Prairie homes, the house was built in 1908 for successful lantern salesman Edward Boynton and his daughter Beulah. Its horizontal elevation, dramatic cantilevered roof, and flowing, light-filled spaces impressed Fran. The two preservation-minded people later married and settled around the corner from the Boynton House. But it wasn't until 2009 that they finally could call this Wright-designed house their own ... and almost three more years before they could move in. In fourteen photographs of the Boynton House.
2) New Century For a Wright Roof. A complex repair required multiple solutions. When Fran Cosentino and Jane Parker undertook restoration of the Boynton House in Rochester, they grappled with a myriad of design and repair issues. Modern systems (pipes, wiring, ducts) mostly would be hidden, but work on any visible elements-like the roof-would have to please the home-owners, conform to Mr. Wright's original design, and be approved by both the local historic-preservation commission and the covenant holder-the Landmark Society of Western New York. Includes four photographs of the restoration.
3) Postwar Challenges. Includes a photograph of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Suntop Houses.
4) Architectural Ceilings. Includes a photographs of the Playroom in Frank Lloyd Wright’s Home in Oak Park.

Description: Samara. Now in his 90s, Dr. John Christian still inhabits the home he and his wife commissioned from iconic architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
This Story proves that "you just don't know until you ask." In October of 1950, a young Purdue professor and his bride got it into their heads to ask Frank Lloyd Wright to design a house for them.
It would be a modest house: John and Catherine (Kay) Christian were barely in a financial position to own any home, let alone one designed by a famous architect. Wright, who was 83 in 1950, was a living legend, already considereed by many to be the greatest American architect.
To the Christians' amazement, Wright took their request seriously, answering that he might very well design a home based on his increasingly popular Usonian concept. Rather than a modular "everyman's house, though, the Christian house was to be a step up; Wright meant to design a house befitting a family who would...

Elliot Butler was an apartment dweller in Madison for many years. In 2008, finally looking to buy a property, Elliot read a story about a historic house for sale in the local newspaper. He contacted the owner and arranged a visit, and that was that. The house was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and built in 1939-40 for John C. Pew, a Madison businessman..."
