Slideshow essay on the building of an unbuilt FLW (LA Times)
Posted on LottaLiving - I thought it was worth taking a look:
"Three years ago, Times staff writer Diane Haithman traveled to Lake Mahopac, N.Y., to report on a retired contractor's attempt at a rare feat: to take one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s unbuilt designs and construct it exactly as Wright intended. Haithman recently went back to see the finished house and spoke with its owner. What follows is a photo tour of the home believed to be the first, since the architect's death, to rise on its intended site."

I agree with comments I've seen about material choice (the rocks and is that stucco?) and red floor - a bit out of place in my mind. I still appreciate the effort involved.
