JOHN & SYD DOBKINS RESIDENCE (1953 - S.362) Date: 2015
Title: John & Syd Dobkins Residence 2015 (1953 - S.362)
Description: 1) Set of 17 photographs of the exterior of the Dobkins Residence in Canton, Ohio. As you approach the Dopkins Residence from the drive, the design of the exterior is very private. The interior is obscured by a brick wall broken only by vertical windows and the front door, unlike the opposite side of the house that has floor-to-ceiling glass and looks out on an expansive yard. The footprint uses a module based on an equilateral triangle, with the living room and terrace forming a very large triangle, the workspace forming a smaller triangle. On a trip from Cincinnati to Seattle with my daughter and grandsons, we decided to surprise them with a trip to the Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. Waiting for it to open gave me the opportunity to view the Dobkins Residence. A red brick equilateral triangle marks the entrance to the drive. Copyright 2015, Douglas M. Steiner.

Author: Carey, Miriam; Photos by Eric Hanson
Description: "The Wright Place. Fans of renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright can now spend a weekend or a few days in one of the used in one of his Usonian homes, located in northeast Ohio. When Louis Penfield, a high school art teacher, and his wife, Pauline, wanted to build a new house in the early 1950s, he went straight to the top. At first glance, it might have seemed like a pipe dream to commission world-renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright to design his home. But the Penfields read all they could about the architect they admired, and found that Wright was designing what he called ‘Usonian’ homes – affordable and elegant houses for the average American..."

Title: Nathan Rubin Residence Exterior 2015 (1951 - S.343).
Description: 1) Set of 24 photographs of the exterior of the Rubin Residence in Canton, Ohio. There are three Frank Lloyd Wright homes in Canton, Ohio. The Nathan and Jeanne Rubin Residence (1951 - S.343), the John and Syd Dobkins Residence (1953 - S.362), and the Ellis and Alice Feiman Residence (1954 - S.371.) Jeanne Rubins and Alice Feiman were sisters. "My mom and dad met Frank Lloyd Wright," recalled Robert Rubin, who lives in the home that his parents, Nathan and Jeanne Rubin, commissioned the noted architect to design early in the 1950s. "They went to see Wright several times... The (Rubin) house was finished, and Nate and Jeanne moved in and invited Alice over and she loved it and wanted one herself," said Dave Lewis, who lives beside the Feiman house and knew both families. The home is laid out with a 2' x 4' grid. The living area of the house is a hexagon, with the bedroom wing form a 120 degree angle to the shop and carport. It is constructed of redwood siding and brick. As you approach the Ruban Residence today, it is obscured from the street by heavy foliage. On a trip from Cincinnati to Seattle with my daughter and grandsons, we decided to surprise the boys with a trip to the Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. Waiting for it to open gave me the opportunity to view the Dobkins Residence. Viewed from the North. When Frank Lloyd Wright designed the house in 1951, Frazier Avenue was lay out to run on the West side of the house. When the road was actually installed, it ran on the East side, placing the driveway at the back of the house. This path from 44th Street was approximately the original placement of Frazier Avenue, which would have brought the drive to the front of the house. Copyright 2015, Douglas M. Steiner.

BURTON J. WESTCOTT RESIDENCE (1904 - S.099)
When Burton J. Westcott’s father passed away in 1907, he inherited the Westcott Carriage Co. located in Richmond, Ohio. He converted the company to the Westcott Motor Car Co. and produced two-seater in 1909. By 1911 they were producing a larger sedan. Around 1915, Burton moved the company from Richmond to Springfield, about 190 miles to the west. His wife Orpha past away in 1923, Burton J. Westcott past away in 1926. Roscoe Pierce purchased the house in 1927.
Date: Circa 1905 Title: Burton J. Westcott Residence (S.099 - 1904)
Description: Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1904, built in 1905, according to Storrer and the Clark County assessor's office tax records. Taken near the completion of the home. The large exterior vases on the terrace have not been installed. The second floor "Veranda" (balcony) have not been enclosed. The home to the West (left), 1330 E.

Title: Frank Lloyd Wright Wall Sconces. Pair, Circa 1908.
Description: Two original wall sconces used in a number of Frank Lloyd Wright’s prairie house commissions. We have identified nine Wright designed homes and buildings, to date, where these fixtures are used. Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio (1889-1911), Westcott (1904), Robie (1906), Coonley Residence (1907) and Coach House (1911), Meyer May (1908), Isabel Roberts (1908), Hotel Geneva (1911), Oscar Balch (1911).
Not only did Frank Lloyd Wright design houses and building, but the furnishings and lighting. Lighting styles included the chandelier, the single- and double-pedestal table lamps and wall sconces.
Sconces are manufactured in brass and mahogany. The brass base is square: 3.906" x 3.906" x 0.59". Brass pins in the center of each side holds the wood in place. Four brass screws hold the pedestal in place. The socket assembly and screws also appear to be brass. Stamped on the exterior of the socket assembly: “Perkins. Pat. June 13-99. 3 A. 250 V.” A round “nut” with a threaded tube is embedded in the wood base. The socket is screwed to the threaded tube and secured by a small headless screw. Although the socket is clearly manufactured by Perkins, the sconce itself has no manufacturing marks. Some of these sconces had pull cords to turn the light off and on, this set did not. Providence Toomey & Co.
Size: The wood base within the brass is square: 3.75" x 3.75" x .5". The brass pedestal is a sleeve that slides over the electrical socket. The square base of the pedestal is 3.4375' x 3.4375". The neck of the pedestal is square and is 1.75" x 1.75" x 2.28". The top of the pedestal is 2.125" x 2.125" x 31". Overall height: 3.25".

Date: 1912 Title: Burton J. Westcott Residence (S.099 - 1904), circa 1912.
Description: Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1904, built in 1905 (according to Storrer). View of the South and East side and the garage. Hand written on verso: "By Frank Lloyd Wright. Westcott House, Springfield, Ohio, 1912. 1340 E. High Street. Present owner Roscoe Pierce, who bought house in 1927." In dating this photograph the date written on the back (1912), presents a few questions. A brief history: When Burton Westcott’s father passed away in 1907, he inherited the Westcott Carriage Co. located in Richmond, Ohio. He converted the company to the Westcott Motor Car Co. and produced the first two-seater (seen on the far right) in 1909. By 1911 they were producing a larger sedan, seen to the left of the two-seater. Around 1915, Burton moved the company from Richmond to Springfield, about 190 miles to the west. Westcott would have been driving the latest models of his vehicles, but it is difficult to date the vehicles in the photograph. Production continued until 1925, so this photograph would have been taken between 1910-1925, so most likely 1912 is correct. The Oak Park Public Library attributes this photograph to Grant Manson. Manson was born in 1904. That would have place Manson at 8 years old. So most likely Manson acquired the photograph but did not take it. Burton's wife Orpha past away in 1923, Burton J. Westcott past away in 1926. Roscoe Pierce purchased the house in 1927. Also, in dating this photograph it is noted that the second floor "Veranda" (balcony) has been enclosed, which was not originally intended by Wright. Acquired from the Art Institute of Chicago.
