      I found this in a postcard book I have all about FLW.

      Not sure if it is any good to you? sorry about the poor image, I don't own a scanner, and the light in my house is terrible due to my housemates adoring energy saving lightbulbs.

                I managed to find some more Pictures, they are a bit blurry but are better than nothing. I heard that when they did one of the restorations they added a Pool which was originally planned but never built. I have found nothing about that in pics or plans. Any Ideas?

                If anyone can find More Reference pics I'd Greatly appreciate it.

                  Haven't come across any internal shots.

                  i did come across this though, at the bottom of the page there is a link for a high res image, which is nearly 1m long.

                  http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://memory.loc.gov/pnp/habshaer/ca/ca0200/ca0228/sheet/00002t.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/list/103_flw.html&usg=__Z8aomznCJcg3c-r62TcoqgHVj7g=&h=173&w=220&sz=6&hl=en&start=53&sig2=Rf7h9siunOR1tPULiMpbsA&um=1&tbnid=z3bsuzdpwnDX1M:&tbnh=84&tbnw=107&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dstorer%2Bhouse%26ndsp%3D21%26hl%3Den%26rls%3Dcom.microsoft:en-gb:IE-SearchBox%26sa%3DN%26start%3D42%26um%3D1&ei=93pWS-foEqG9jAeO4_XrBA

                  any good?

                    That link goes to the Freeman House, it looks very similar to the Storer House, but it isn't. I wish there was an Isometric Drawing for the Storer House. I have the Plans though from that page, those are the HABS documents.

                      Sorry, my bad, i should have specified, if you follow the link to the page, and scroll down a bit, it is two article underneath the Freeman house image, that was just the link i followed to the website where found the image.

                        I just Traced the Section Cut for the Terrain. At some point I have to figer I'll have to go back and fix it, but for now it works.

                              Well I've Pretty Much Finished the Terraceing on the front of the House, as well as Getting the Terrain to match the photos and Documents.

                              Update.jpg

                              Again any Reference Photos of the Storer House Anyone has would be Greatly Appreciated.

                                Horseman04,

                                That is some really nice work! The concrete detail and the pool are excellent in that last image. All this difficult geometry and the challenge of obtaining good reference materials makes this a real labor of love. Great to see your progress!

                                        Wonderfull detail modeling and texturing there. The bush is very nice - what is the (application / library) source? Only crit would be to make a small gap between the edge of the steps and the wall as these would never butt together that tightly.

                                        Again - great work!

                                            Bored with coding so ...

                                            I would just add that I don't think FLW would allow cutting a pattern (as shown at the edge of the steps) - more likely he would have used a plain border like the wall material.

                                            With TBA interfaces we can analyse what is to be achieved so that IT can help with automation to achieve it.
