The design ingeniously incorporates a boarded window in the back of the building...

The Edward E. Boynton House was built in Rochester, New York in 1908. This two-story house is built in the elongated "T" plan. Frank Lloyd Wright won agreement from Boynton to not only design the house but also design the landscape and furnishings as well. It's the furthest east of Wright's Prairie houses

This house was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and was built in 1895

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chauncey_L._Williams_House

Oops, actually the one on the left is not the Parker house, its around the corner. Looks very similar.

The link below has pictures and a layout of the studio. The left of the plan is North on the map.

http://radiomagonline.com/infrastructure/radio_bob_tom_big/

The monolithic concrete building was a combination of curved and angular forms typical of Wright’s late-period public projects. The vertical cylindrical forms of the four-and-a-half story building, encircled by horizontal cantilevered decks, presented a sculptural façade, both monumental and dynamic, within a wooded park setting. The entire building was based on a 60/120-degree equilateral parallelogram, such that there were no right angles. The unit-system organized not only the floor plan...

It was designed for John Gillin originally.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Gillin_Residence

One of his earliest works, Joseph Silsbee is the designer on record, but Wright was an influencial part of the project.

The pics I posted were from our trip in '07. I'm sure things have changed in there by now, not much in Vegas stays the same for long.

I am gonna have to go get me a Supa Dupa Fly Ho soon.

That's cool, nice find.

My pic matches the angle pretty close :)

His scaffolding looks really scure

Yeah, it was fun, some of them were done. I put in all the rest, except colorado, it has bad imagery yet.

I put together a kmz file of the trip.

Thats a lot of building

I uploaded pics from our trip to the zoo in March 2011

I was in Chicago in October '07, my wife was in a school conference so i had the days free to explore. I loved it, did a couple of your tours. I recommend them to anyone. I also added a few photos of your city model in the pics section of this map.

Nice find

I uploaded a few pics i took several years ago, they wouldn't let you take any inside the sub. It is a neat exhibit to check out.

I have been wrong before though :)

If you look at the map on this page http://sochi2014.com/en/objects/mountain/sledge/ (bottom of image = top of this map) it looks as if mine is correct.
