A local theater was showing the 1932 King Kong. I dragged Gabe and Lisa to see it. So great.

I just viewed a video of the house interior shot by a local Cincinatti news station, and then also reviewed the photographs on the realtor's website. It's really a great house, and a bit more appropriate for 2013 living. Bigger spaces, less sense of being cramped.

But, alas, nearly all of the interior furnishings are from the Heritage-Henredon Taliesin Collection of 1955, apparently the same year the house was built. There are just a few exceptions, notably the built in bed(s).

Cheers,

PRK

Anyone is welcome to visit our website for a fair amount of further information about this furniture group. And if anyone wants to privately mail me, I'd be happy to let you know for what I've sold some of these items.
Cheers,

I actually learned the second piece of your posted information before the first (after I had typed the words "Frank Lloyd Wright" into the Google). I don't know how I missed the first part, since I (like most Frankophiles) put his name into Google news several mornings a week.

Aww - and he's taking the name, Francis. One of my favorite saints in childhood - it was my confirmation name (I didn't really adhere to the whole "gender" thing, since I'm a girl).

Wright in Wisconsin has made real contributions to the efforts to preserve Wright's work so I hope few will begrudge them the opportunity to continue and possibly expand their efforts.

Even so, the Hardy House has been, and will remain, a private dwelling -- future opportunities to see the interior will rare. And the tour will be lead by the acknowledged expert on the Hardy House and Wright's work in Racine.
