So bc I grew up in a house built by Walter Burley Griffin, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright (I know, they loved the triple barrel names in that era as much as tv stars of the 1990’s), I’ve got a real soft spot for Prairie Style architecture. Something about the geometric way it represents an organic world or something like that. Also I’m deffo a fan of split level buildings for the simple fact that there’s never that many stairs before you hit a landing or a room

Anyway, funny story about when we were selling my parents house: there was this woman who came to view it like 6 or 7 times, and the same thing happened at the end of every visit.

“Oh my goodness, I just love this style, is there any way it could be made into an open concept main floor? Bc that’s really my only objection”

Upon being told it could not without either breaking the rules of the National Register of Historic Places or, y’know, Physics itself, she would leave in a huff. Thankfully, she didn’t end up buying the place, and it went to a lovely family who’d lived down the street from us for around 15 years and watched the entire restoration process.
