FULLER BRUSH MAGAZINE

	Date: 1962 Title: The Fuller Brush Magazine - 1962 (Published by the Fuller Brush Company, Hartford, Conn.) Author: Young, Joanne B. Description: "Our Heritage of Homes." The article is divided into a number of segments throughout the magazine, each describing a different style of home. The back page is devoted to the Quintin Blair Home (1952 - S.351). "When Frank Lloyd Wright first began designing his ‘Prairie houses’ eccentric was one of the milder terms used to describe his work. Even today a Frank Lloyd Wright house such as the one above built for the Quintin Blairs of Cody, Wyoming -- arouses so much interest that homeowners find they’re suddenly one of the sightseeing wonders of their hometown!" Includes one photograph by Warren Reynolds Photography, Inc. taken in 1956. Original cost: given as a sales tool. For more information on the Blair Residence see our Wright Study.
