re: #297 wrenchwench

I used to be a fan. I’ve been to a couple of his houses in Wisconsin, then years later saw where he lived (for I don’t know how long) in Oak Park, IL. I don’t know if it was there, or in ‘outside reading’, but I found out he was kind of a jerk to his wife and kids.

He thought his family wasn’t, either.

For a couple years I lived across the street from his Robie House. What I had always heard was that his houses looked fantastic but were seriously flawed and expensive to maintain. Looks over function.
