For the first time in 20 years, Frank Lloyd Wright‘s “Tirranna” home in New Canaan, CT is on the market. The home was built just before his death on a 15-acre wooded estate, has been listed for $8M by the estate of its long-time owner, the late memorabilia mogul and philanthropist Ted Stanley. Though renovated, the horse-shaped home maintains its original architectural integrity. — 6sqft

frank lloyd wrong.
New Canaan Connecticut is similar to a miniature Columbus Indiana in that there are a lot of small early 20th to mid 20th century architectural gems in the woods around this New England town. I wonder how the pull out of GE corporate HQ from the area will impact the price and or efforts to add it to the land trust and historical conservancy. Also some recent ones that are neat too.

Chigurh, is your dislike for FLW just this house or his work in general.?
Over and OUT

That house is terrible...and I guess I'm not a big fan in general - that interior is so bad - over modulated, crystalline, decorative... and most of the other work has similar characteristics... Bad modernist Greene and Greene, geometric craftsman, ornamental, and dripping in cash.
