The Innes, Hollyhock houses were all less then 2 miles from where I went to high school with a couple more only a few more miles away. We didn't know any better then of course.
In terms of form over function, I agree. IMO. FLW is a much better designer over the Greene and Greene brothers. I know, different styles and I remodeled one of their smaller home, the Bowen house. FLW's designs are just so grand whereas The Brother's are more functional. Around here, most of FLR homes are on hills whereas Greene and Greenes are mostly on flat lands around Pasadena, old east coast money. Both have a tremendous amount of wood by now, over 100 years later, rot or termite have done its damage. Especially the Greene and Greene homes due to location and changes in the neighborhood, the occupants did lots of damage, just like the Bowen house. It was a rental for some time.
