Didn't go inside or see he back because we did it as a drive by. Wasn't interested in paying the price for a non-typical Prairie Style FLW design.
I have visited many of Wrights houses over the years. I am always amazed at the insight to the utilized space, natural light, and built-in furniture. He reads the owners, and builds a space to suit them. In this space he uses part of the L/R for use as a music entertainment area. The grounds blend in so nicely.
The docents here are well-trained and knowledgeable about FLW and his amazing work. The tour is really more of an "experience" because you get to learn the ins and the outs of the space in a smaller, more intimate tour provided by the Curriee Museum. This has shot to the top of my favorite FLW structures!
We visited when visiting the Art Museum. Well presented and worth a visit. We discovered another house just down the road that was even more interesting in its design although you could not see around it.
Our tour guide was EXTREMELY knowledgeable about Frank Lloyd Wright's life, his work, the couple who commissioned this house etc. It was extremely informative - a little known jewel in the Queen City. Make sure to arrive early at the museum and get your tickets ahead of time. They transport you and will give you a short history of manchester as you drive there. Worth checking out in each season.
Not one of Frank's greatest efforts.In fact it was much more a student project than one of Frank's.Tour guides do their best to talk it up using pseudo architectural speak.All about diagonals and in and out.Blah Blah Blah.Worth it nonethe less.
But could he design a house! The ;house is worth a long visit, and is a unique example of Wright's philosophy of design. It is incredible to me that the fabrics Wright used are still in extraordinary condition. Admittedly, the ceilings are a little low, but as I say, Wright was short. But a short genius!
The Zimmerman House was a great sight to see. Roger, our tour guide, was very informative. It was neat to see the home as it was originally designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. This is worth checking out if you're a fan of the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. It was very cold when I went and part of the tour is outside, so my only suggestion would be to tour the Zimmerman House in the warmer weather if you're not a fan of the cold.
The tour was informative and the fellow tourists were a wide mix of people with varied interpretations and levels of knowledge about FLW. The docent was informative but a bit over the top for me but probably works well for a crowd of school children. The house was interesting and certainly something my friends and I enjoyed discussing later (some loves and some not so much votes in the group).
Were able to do a walk through of the house for about 1-1/2 hours. The docents were very informative and the house was worth seeing if you like that kind of thing. There is also another FLW house on the same street, however, it is not shown.
