Frank Lloyd Wright house for sale in Ann Arbor

On the front page of the Ann Arbor news today is a story about the lone FLW house in Ann Arbor going on the market for only (and I mean that seriously) 1.5 million. I will confess to some housing lust as I am a big fan of FLW and have greatly enjoyed visits to Taliesin and Falling Water as well as his home in Oak Park, near Chicago.

Another picture of the Palmer House is here.

Our snail mail for today included a postcard from the local realtor (amazingly, not Nancy Bishop, the seemingly omnipresent seller of all expensive homes around here) selected to sell the Palmer house, with the following request:

"... if you are outside [why not inside?] and approached by someone who asks you for directions to the home, please tell them you have no idea where hte house is located."

Far be it from me to subject anyone, including the Palmers (whose descendants are selling the house), to architecturally inclined pests. So, don't send me an email asking where the house is!
