next time someone asks what style their house is so they can coordinate the proper pottery barn bathroom fixtures, i'm telling them it's a wright house....
'Wright suffered international professional and personal opprobrium after he and his mistress, Mahmah Borthwick, had left their respective spouses and children to live together. He built Taliesen for Borthwick. Their relationship ended in 1914, when she was murdered in the home, causing even more notoriety for the architect, so it is understandable if he wanted to lay low at this time..'
There was a film pitched about this and I have a copy of the screenplay. Louis Sullivan and all the Wright characters were included in this melodrama ending in the climatic axe murder burn the place down final scenes, Hollywood horror starring F L Wright. Somewhere in a box....

Yeah, but does the roof leak?

That sounds awesome, Eric. Time for some crowdfunded moviemaking!
I'd cast John Lithgow as FLW; William Hurt is second choice.

You may be right, Miles. I forgot we were talking about his younger reprobate period.
Jeremy Piven, maybe?

is it a Wright if it leaks . . . . .
or if it doesn't leak . . . . ... ?
