Tenants and owners of a West Side co-operative are fighting to save their home - a rare Frank Lloyd Wright apartment building - from the wrecking ball... ¶ Each of the 46 units has its own exterior entrance facing a once handsomely landscaped interior courtyard. There are no hallways to heat or to provide hiding places for thugs. ¶ The typical Chicago flat in 1895 when Wright designed the building was cramped, and often light and fresh air failed to reach many of the units. ¶ Wright meant his building to be a prototype for better living condition for the poor... ¶ In 1930, the building was converted into a co-operative project... ¶ Almost half of the units are vacant, and about six have been gutted by fires... ¶ Faced with possible court action condemning the building, the residences sought help from Michael Brown, an attorney... ¶ Architects estimate renovation costs would be from $11,000 to $15,000 for each dwelling unit..."

(1946 - S.287). Exterior. Article taped to verso: "...It has been 25 years now. A quarter of a century since Smith, an English teacher now retired, finished building it. A quarter of a century after Smith, a would-be architect, suggested a design change that Wright -- acknowledged as one of the great architects – accepted and praised. A quarter of a century of utter fascination with the house and the man who designed it. It’s rare for a man to possess one great possession, said Smith, ‘but my most precious possession is my home.’ From the road, the house shows little more than cypress wood, brick, and a succession of tiny off-shaped windows. But on the other side of the house, the side a passer-by can’t see, complex geometries of glass sheets project in and out of that brick and cyprus framework. ‘It seems like a natural outcropping,’ said Smith, staring at the building. ‘Like a rock, or a bush or a tree." Wright believed that architecture should complement and blend with he land which surrounds it. So when Smith shows off his house, like any good advocate of Wright’s ‘organic architecture,’ he begins with a tour of the three acres of grounds. ‘This was all a swamp meadow before we dredged it up,’ he says... No other homes are visible from the rear of the house. Smith prefers it that way. Stamped on verso: "Photo by Richard Lee" and "Detroit Free Press, Aug 21, 1975". Published August 29, 1975.
