Good Morning Friends,
Originally, the room at the front of Wright's house on the second floor served as his drafting room, until the completion of the studio annex in 1898. In 1895, Wright added the two story polygon bay on the south side. In the first floor of this bay Wright built his inspired Dining Room, with the spectacular Dining Table and Chairs that perfectly express the spirit of the room, and his style. Windows of the dining room bay were later modified when the house to the south of the Wright Home was built, blocking the flow of light into the Bay. The same year, Wright also added a two story extension to the east side of the house whose upstairs is the celebrated Children's playroom. This room receives light from rows of art glass windows along both the north and south walls, and from the overhead skylight, creating and etherial effect, not to be missed! I will continue with more tomorrow. Respectfully, Ralph Jones http://hometown.aol.com/ralj7/index.htm |
