Yep - a major kitschy tourist trap, but good for a couple of laughs if you've time to kill in Cleveland.

Additional chains also act as stringers to hold the tops of the walls together.
The combined effect is a lower work space with no posts, and the upper space is free from cross beams.

I'm redoing my MCM...one man job, and taking longer than expected, of course. I will include this in the before and after thread. the original tongue and groove redwood siding was past its prime. I salvaged as much as possible, and will be using it in different parts of the house. the exterior walls have been taken down to the studs, new insulation, and then re-sheathed in 3/4" plywood. the "house wrap" is a german product made by Cosella-Doerken for open cladding systems..creating a rain screen. the exterior is now being sheathed in 16 gauge A606 "CorTen" steel with each piece plasma cut by hand, and then attached. I started last fall. should be done later this spring. I spoke with the original architect (an understudy of FLW), before he passed, and got his blessing before I switched to the CorTen. Will post more pictures once progress ramps up here....

Very nice Mike! Can't wait to see the finished product!

As long as we're talkin' FLW, here's one of his homes located right in downtown L.A. The Hollyhock House, completed in 1921, is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

The Hollyhock house is in Barnsdall Park, on the eastern edge of Hollywood right off sunset Blvd about 7 miles from downtown LA. The Ennis House is up in Los Feliz about a mile north from Hollyhock House in the residential section, just less then a 1/4 mile south of the Greek Theater. God only know how much I suffered running in those hills training for X-country back in high school. School is about a mile from there. Lloyd Wright, son, did the Sowden house less then a mile west of there, still in Los Feliz if you are interested.

There are a bunch of interesting homes designed by famous architects within a 5-10 miles rad. from that location. I worked for a designer who lives in a Lloyd Wright house up off Mulholland Dr. This house is interesting. It sits on a few large boulders that acts as foundations but some of the boulders is half way into the house. Cool house, but I looked at the slippage for him but he didn't want to repair it for the fear of losing value due to repairs and no longer original.

Take a look at this place. https://www.redfin.com/CA/Fullerton/401-Cannon-Ln-92831/home/4076987

It's pretty comfy looking.
