from a site I read "Jordan's dad, a budding architect, had been dismissed at Wright's Taliesin home, near Spring Green, with the declaration, "I wouldn't hire you to design a cheese crate or a chicken coop." Soon after, the senior Jordan chose a pinnacle rock south of Taliesin to build a parody of Wright's fancy-pants architecture, a strange "Japanese house." The ceilings were dangerously low (padded now to accommodate tourists) and the structure seemed to cling precariously to the odd contours of the rock."
We went there a number of times when we lived in Chicago. Lots of other stuff added to it (some interesting and odd collections, like automated musical instruments... a la player pianos up to a "player symphony". The house is worth a tour.
If you're ever down this way, give it a look see. It's tacky but charming. Beautiful natural rock formations with all sorts of touristy additions (notably all the little dwarf statues . . . )
It's built on the edge of Lookout Mountain, with a sheer drop of several hundred feet to the valley below.
The location was picked specifically because after the house was built, FLLW couldn't drive from Spring Green to Madison anymore without having to go by the place and look at it at least once... and if Wright decided he didn't want to look at the damn thing any more he'd have to go twelve miles out of his way to avoid it.
