Specialist note

“Of all the fine homes I have ever seen, I would like to have reserved the word great for the Coonley house…In all my years of searching for houses worth holding up as examples from which to learn, I have never been so completely satisfied, so completely enchanted as with this magnificent house. It is a great work of art, the epitome of shelter. Here, in one residence, art and life come together.” Frank Lloyd Wright on the Avery Coonley House
