that looks like something by frank lloyd wright.

Jeffrey! In my office at once!
-
haha.. what?
-
It doesn't look anything like Wright!
off looking for cane
Edit: lol! You've stumbled upon something!! There's a link!
-
really? nothing like wright?
it was just a guess from someone that doesn't study architecture but it's not even a little bit like his stuff?
maybe i'm thinking of someone else though but i doubt it (f.l.wright is the guggenheim guy right?)
i'm going to go google some of his houses.[edit] maybe i was thinking of this
-
Yeah, the Guggenheim guy. Seriously though, you're on to something. Wright's Fallingwater and the house of which I posted an image have something in common. (Which I didn't know before you spurred my curiosity.)
-
yeah, i know.. i was just making a puzzle inside a puzzle.
BS
-
lol. And yeah, okay, there are some similarities between the images we posted. Though I like mine better. I've never grown fond of Wright. I genuinely respect his work, but I do not love it. Apart from his drawings, that is. Some of those are very, very beautiful. Still ... not as beautiful as the ones by the architect who designed the house of which I posted a pic.

Classical XX

I don't know if anyone has even attempted to figure out the last building I posted but here's the answer. It's the Plummer Building designed through a collaboration between Dr. Henry Plummer and Ellerbe & Co. At the time it was completed, in 1928, it was the tallest building in the State of Minnesota.
