[MassHistPres] demolition of Frank Lloyd Wright House

[Wilson, Linda]

There are two in NH, both on Heather Street in Manchester.  The Zimmerman House was given to the Currier Museum of Art and can be visited by appointment:  http://currier.org/collections/zimmerman.aspx.  Both are classified as Usonian, but the Zimmerman House has some Prairie overtones, while the other (a privately owned dwelling) is much more aggressively "modern."

Unless a lost one one has been discovered, I believe the nearest FLlW house is in N.H.

A friend was in a Frank Lloyd Wright designed house in Wellsley as they were selling some of the contents. The owner told him that the buyer of the house was going to demolish it in order to build a a mcmansion which is the dominant style of house in this neighborhood. Is there anybody from Wellsley on the list?
