Sorry I caused you to research rather than write. ;-)<br /><br />Hi Claudia,<br />There are five FLW buildings in Missouri--three are in the KC area.<br /><br />Hi Lynn,<br />Yep. It's your dear cousin Jan. She is a sweetie.<br /><br />Hi Val,<br />Hahaha. I went up in the arch once, which was enough for me. Have you checked out Grant's Farm. They also have free samples of St. Louis' finest brew.<br /><br />Hi Pat,<br />Day trips are fun, especially with such good friends.<br /><br />Hi Sioux,<br />You're welcome. There's another FLW house in West County, but it's a private residence.<br /><br />Hi Linda,<br />It was a fun trip. These outings are stimulating!<br /><br />Hi Sheree,<br />Good for you! Mr. Kraus was dedicated to following the detailed directions of FLW.<br /><br />Hi Pat,<br />I imagine if the trees were in bloom the grounds would've looked lovely.<br /><br /><br /><br />Donna Volkenannthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540727800410234483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-40380695630373411772014-04-13T10:14:12.074-05:002014-04-13T10:14:12.074-05:00I knew about the house, but have never been in it....I knew about the house, but have never been in it.

In doing research on Mr. Wright and Mr. Kraus, it was interesting to discover that Wright insisted Kraus locate the home amidst the persimmons for a pleasing view. This was a normal practice for Wright when building a home, and it seems on many occasions, he had the last word on what direction the home should face.

My first thought was, "Oh, dear! Paper is not all that sturdy. I shall make a note-to-self: <br />Do not sit on the origami chair. That would be like Fantasia's Hyacinth Hippo sitting on a buttercup."<br /><br />I did not know we had a Frank Lloyd Wright in this area. In addition, I have never gone up in the Arch.

I've never heard of an origami chair, so I went to Google and looked it up. I wasn't sure where a design like that would fit so I did more Googling and found some really cool interior layouts. You're the reason I haven't done any writing yet today. lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
