Oh, if only I had some way of getting from Nebraska to California for the weekend for the La Miniatura tour.
I built a 1/8" scale basswood model of that house for 2nd year architecture studio, which is sitting two feet from my desk as I type.
Though I was able to find a number of good photographs, and though all of Wright's drawings still in existence have been published, there are STILL a few details that I had no documentation of, and had to make conjectural guesses on. I'd love to know how those areas of the house are actually worked out.
I hope the house is still being maintained, because it appears that it may have been allowed to deteriorate since its publication in Architectural Digest a few years ago.
