Picture it. Easter Sunday afternoon. The Laurel Hill area of North Carolina. Two Frank Lloyd Wright houses are open for tours!!! Can you believe...
The first home is called Kentuck Knob. It was built when Wright was in his 80s. It is small and sits on top of a small hill in the forest. Typically, it has low ceilings, cantilevered areas and goes from large areas open to the outdoors to small tight halls. The furniture and built-ins are all in cypress. Flagstone floors are throughout the home.
I'd just taken a tour and was waiting for the bus to take us back to the office. It was breezy and overcast. When the bus pulled up, I walked over the gravel drive to wait for the passengers to disembark. The side door of the bus opens and out jumps my former co-worker of 25 years: Abby Connor! Imagine my surprisr: 800 miles from Tampa on an improbable day for public tours. Just goes to show how small the world is.
