Hi Dion,
Perhaps we should go and squat there...

For those of you interested in architecture, my great uncle is selling
his Frank Lloyd Wright home in Rockford, Illinois, just west of Chicago.
I've provided a few links to info. on this specific home as well as
quotes about the home and books that include the Laurent House.
"This little gem" (Frank Lloyd Wrights' words) was designed on a summer
evening in July 1949.

" The Original owners, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Laurent are offering their
treasured home of over 54 years for sale
to a fortunate Frank Lloyd Wright enthusiast. Wright first used some of
these designs in later buildings.
After it's design and construction in 1952, Wright continued his
friendship with the Laurents for years.
The home is in immaculate condition and is full of custom designed Wright
furniture and fabric designs.
Meticulous maintenance over the years means this house looks as good
today as when Wright would occasionally visit.
Mature trees and a long, sweeping lawn complete this modern prairie style
home
The house is another of Wright's solar hemicycles; the plan is dominated
by circles. The arc of one circle defines the glass wall of the living
room, a second circle with a different center defines the outside pool
and terrace wall. The two circles intersect to form the football shaped
outer terrace.
The house is built of Tidewater cypress and common brick. A bedroom was
later added off the carport by John Howe.

"This remarkable book presents twenty-five of the most renowned and
significant buildings of Wright's masterworks.
The book examines in unsurpassed detail a selection of Wright's
architecture that covers the phenomenal range of his work,
including such internationally famous buildings as the Home and Studio in
Oak Park, as well as several
lesser-known residences such as the Kenneth Laurent house in Rockford."
