Went to The House on the Rock yesterday....amazing collection of "stuff". The actual house is dark with all of these little dark alcoves for sitting. Then there's his collection housed in several rooms in 2 other buildings. The guy, Alex Jordan, was obsessed with collecting and adding to the house.
Today was Frank Lloyd Wright Day doing the estate tour (4 + hrs) touring the grounds from the children's school to the actual house. What an amazing and talented man. The house is fascinating and the style we absolutely love. The influences of Asian art is throughout the property.
We have now expanded our travel scope, in general, from museums, landmarks and presidential libraries, to now include any Frank Lloyd Wright property or commissioned property, i.e. the Johnson Wax building in Racine, WI and Taliesin West in Arizona. We will be planning another driving trip to include those and more. Back to this trip.....
