READ VERY CAREFULLY before forming your opinion; the Wright granddaughters did not sell directly to the developer, they sold to the previous owner who intended to preserve it before the economy tanked. I have been following this story for years and can assure everyone here, the MLS listings have always plainly stated the home's provenance as a FLW. The developers do not claim they did not know it was a Wright, they claim they did not know it was a significant Wright. This home has been marketed as a historically significant piece of property from the get-go. Any claimed ignorance rests entirely on the developer's shoulders.

This home is an architectural masterpiece and should be preserved. Photographs only just begin do it justice, and provide only a glimpse into what makes it so unique. For a complete chronological rundown of all the events leading up to this, including the final of four votes needed by the City of Phoenix, visit the right hand column of modernphoenix.net.

The tour was a lot of fun! The feedback we received was gracious. We were able to keep it all 1960s themed and included some space-age churches on the tour for the first time this year.

Keep your eye on this thread on the Modern Phoenix forums for the tour photographs as folks who attended post them. I know it is going to take me days to sort through the 400 taken by myself and our photographer. Photos at:
