Wright Wednesday

As an aficionado of the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, the opportunity to tour The Westcott House Museum in Springfield, Ohio was much too good to pass up.

Westcott House was completed in 1904, and is a fine example of the Prairie Style.
Artified bird house at the front door.

South Facade
To the motorcar garage
But wait!

There is MORE!

There are other FLW residences in the parts of Ohio we traveled, so we tried to do a few respectful drive bys:
Boulter House, 1954
Amberly, Ohio
Usonian Style
Gerald B.Tonkens House, 1954
Clifton, Ohio
Usonian Style
I wouldn't walk up the driveway; didn't want to be rude.
I've included links to websites for each building, in case anyone is interested in better photos.

Many thanks to my sister for driving the getaway car...so to speak..😹

Gorge, Cat, House

Finding cats while on vacation: the Ohio journey continued yesterday:

First, a trek around the Clifton Gorge State Nature Preserve.
Then, a lovely visit with Spooky at Dark Star Bookstore, in Yellow Springs.
Spooky graciously allowed pets and chin scritches!
The last event of the day, besides the drive home, was a guided tour of The Westcott House in Springfield.
There are plenty more photos to share; didn't want to inundate y'all with my happy, snappy pics.

Am so pleased to have hit so many of my goals for this trip, besides the glorious company of my sister and her family, and just breathing in the new baby smell of my nephew and niece-in-law's month-old daughter.

Thank goodness this is a short week of work for me, as the office is closed Thursday and Friday for the Thanksgiving holiday.

I need a bit of vacation after my vacation, knowwhatImean?
