My browser is slower than a slug.

Could you post the pic, please.

Frank L. Wright is my FAVORITE architect.

When I was a young kid and had many interests of what I wanted to due in life architecture was one.

I used to take my Moms Majong Sets and design buildings.

Oh yeah and got in big trouble for playing with her pricey gambling sets.

But I did so again and again anyway.

Is this the model for the gas station Roark designed in the Fountainhead?

What’s that dude doing? Looks like he’s squaring off for a wild west pistol duel.

If you ever have the opportunity, when you are in Florida, you must visit the campus of the University of Florida in Lakeland.

It's the world's largest single collection of Frank Lloyd Wright structures in one site. Truly remarkable. ;)

About fifteen years too late for that.
