Auldbrass Plantation

I know I said I was taking a break to get work done, but I spent the weekend at the biannual tours of the Auldbrass Plantation where I worked as a docent. Here are a few pictures of the Plantation and grounds designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. This was his only plantation. It's owned by Joel Silver, and in amazing condition. I think we are very lucky the house has fallen into the right hands, and kept up so well. The pool and hot tub. ^
The Barn^

The sprites in the garden^ are from the demolished Midway Gardens in Chicago.

I had a great weekend. The grounds, and complex of outbuildings began to grow on me the longer I was there. I look forward to seeing future improvements to the project, and the realization of FLW's master plan.
