We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
Made for a Naval man!
ReplyDeleteFunny you should say that, Os. The neighbours at the time dubbed it 'The Battleship.'

That was what I thought when I first saw it!
ReplyDeleteJust a quick note; the Robie House is actually located in Hyde Park, near the University of Chicago on the near south side of Chicago.
ReplyDeleteAlthough there are many FLW buildings in Oak Park, including his famous Home & Studio as well as Unity Temple, the Robie House is not one of them.
Oops, thanks for the correction.
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon – my name is Kelly Ramsey and I am the new Director of Communications with Habitat for Humanity of Collier County. I am wondering if I can use the image Jerome Winer on Frank Lloyd Wright for an ad that will be going into a newspaper supplement. Full credit to the author of course. As I am on an deadline can you please respond asap. Thank You very much.
