Jersey01 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I have heard that there is a home in Houston designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. I am an avid fan, as predictable as it may sound. I've toured many of his buildings. Does anyone know the location of the house here in Houston? I'd love to drive by this place and see it for myself.

rps324 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I can't remember the address. It is in a cul-de-sac in Memorial, Piney Point Village I think. It is hard to see from the street, I do remember that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is hard to see from the street, I do remember that. The Thaxton residence in Bunker Hill was a FLW design. I visited it many years ago and found a few signs of FLW but it was very bastardised. I can't tell you the address but I'm sure you could do some research and find it out. All I remember is after I saw it, I just turned my eyes away because it was just so deformed...very sad to my eyes.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willowisp Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 12020 Tall Oaks Road, built in 1954. It's hard to see from the street and it's gated. google map it for directions. It's a very nice drive to take, but you may get lost. It's on "Tour R" in the Stephen Fox book. Jason The Thaxton residence in Bunker Hill was a FLW design.

Jersey01 Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 Thank you very much. I will have to trek out in that direction and see the place. I did manage to find some photos from google searching now that I know the name of the residence. One page actually had an entry from one of the daughters who lived there as a child. She mentions the uncomfortable built in furniture, which I find funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmainguy Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I remember reading once that Wright said his furniture gave him bruised shins...something like: "I love the forms but they're making me a cripple"...something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
