I never understood the phrase that a man was ahead of his time until I visited the Meyer May house in Grand Rapids. Fell in love with the style then. I have owned a prairie style duplex for 30 years. Didn’t understand what it was and why it was special for many years. I don’t know who built it in 1905.

Our retirement house, built in 2002, is FLW inspired.
Our Minneapolis architect flew down to the Lake of the Ozarks and walked our property. His inspiration allows good late afternoon sun.
We put in a geothermal heat/cool cycles and it works well (and cheap)...
