I've seen the Wright Flyer, so it's not my first Wright. The Gordon House, Frank Lloyd Wright's only design in Oregon, was the first stop on a whirlwind two day field trip. The house wasn't actually built until after he died because it cost more than twice his estimate. It was originally sited on a picturesque parcel of Willamette River front. 40 years later the new owners intended to demolish it, so it was moved to a preserve. None of us felt it was a master piece ...someone said they think one of his apprentices did the design. It was interesting, innovative for its time, and quirky. I should also say it is a beautiful building the more I look at it.
