This home is was built for stone and architectural materials distributor Henry J. Neils in Minneapolis in 1949 and has 2,500 feet of floor space. I don't recall ever seeing a photo of this Wright house. On the market for $3.4 million. (2801 Burnham Boulevard, Minneapolis)
I've visited this on a consultant trip a while back, apparently it was a one-off FLW did near the end of his career. Needless to say it was amazing to see a more intimate side of his work and the interesting proportion used; the carport's fascia seemed like it couldn't have been more than 6 and a half feet high, for scale...

It looks fascinating. I think it has been rebuilt lately because it s hard to believe someone constructed it in 1949; the houses were slightly different then.
Good from far but, far from good.....many great works are disastrous up close and in detail..... scary to see actually.
I just got back from Taliesan West and my god some of the details were technically pretty rough, Design inspiration was top notch but technical execution was a more than a bit rough. All I can say is thank god it doesn't rain much there!

Beautiful!
That is beautiful but where is the picture showing the roof leak?
Dose the structure have a known roof leak or are you being cute?
I believe it is not an authentic FLW house unless it has at least one roof leak.
It also needs at least one structurally unsound cantilever.
1949!
Stunning.
And really f'ing cold in the winter! I've visited a few times, brrrrr!
Get a sweater.
- 40 F requires more than a sweater.
Wuss.
Says the guy used to wimpy NY winters . . .
Check out the photos in the link. It's beautifully restored. It looks brand new.
It is lovely.
nice grill
