Extremely interesting and entertaining video. Sincere thanks for posting it. Many years ago (pre-internet) I lived in Chicago and viewed some of Frank's beautiful creations in Oak Park, but was unaware of any of them in Wisconsin or I would've visited as many as I could have. Being born in '47 myself, I well remember my grandparents' beautiful mansion in Houston, in the days before florescent lights and plastic countertops. It wasn't a FLW house, but it was a wonderful home, with perhaps eight bedrooms and three bathrooms in a beautiful leafy neighborhood, which I think was known as University Park. My grandfather was a professor at the U of Houston, so the family was always comfortable and well-fed during the Depression. I remember sleeping out on the screen porch when my family would visit in the summer.
It's a real shame that more of these Wright buildings were either never built or did not survive. didn't even know there were any FLW buildings in Montana.
