I nearly bought a Wright inspired Usonian design ten years ago

His Usonians are my favorites of all his work -- particularly those built in the early fifties when plate glass had finally come into its own.

That’s what this one was. 1953. It had a custom built sliding glass wall, counterbalanced, moved very well, about 20 feet long and twelve feet high, retracted into the rear wall of the den beside a huge Tennessee Crab Orchard stone fireplace. Opened the den to the screened porch, no steps, absolutely level, it just flowed, no barrier or distinction between indoors and out. Lots of those round, spun copper downlights tucked away here and there throughout the interior and exterior too. I bet that place glowed like a jack-o-lantern at night with them all lit.
