Paint the brick white and update the interior and it would be badass IMO.

Everything about Minneapolis is awesome, except for the freezing cold

that house needs some serious cosmetic renovations


The kitchen counters tops don't look original and need to be changed back to something closer to Wright's vision. And the Island in the kitchen looks like an addition. I love the use of the natural wood interiors. I would add some colorful rugs, furniture cushions and paintings to brighten the rooms. That glass room that juts out into the landscape is glorious. Although I will admit this isnt one of Wright's masterpieces.

No idea who FLW is, but I like that house.


frank lloyd wright. lots of them in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin.
both my wife and I find them lacking in interesting ways but they are elegant.
no grating for the fireplace. dumb. more interested in the lines than not burning the house down.
The Marin county Civic center in California is his. the court rooms are special. (I was a juror).

Looks a lot like Taliesin West. That place is really cool, but the construction is crap.

ETA after looking more closely at photos: That man loved him some Cherokee Red.

That's the Paul Olfet house, I don't see any listed in Ocean Springs or Louisiana or Mississippi.

Looks like it was a church or funeral home at one time.

Amazing building.

Also a portion of Frampton Comes Alive was recorded there.

1. That thing is hideous.

2. I'm not buying a house in MN unless it was the one from Little Big League that he and his hawt mom lived in.

I'm floored by the hate this house is getting. I love it.

Would definitely love to own it. Would modernize/update the interior. Outside looks perfect.

That interlocking brick paver drive is hardly original.

ETA: Baths: 1 full, 1 half

Would have to update that.
