Kentuck Knob / the I.N. Hagan house. The Hagans were friends with the Kaufmans, and knew what they were getting themselves into. http://www.kentuckknob.com/
Carport/more triangles. FLW liked carports because "garages bred clutter" and refused to include a basement or attic in the house.
The forms in the house are all hexagons. This is a modified/enlarged Usonian house, built in the 1950s.
Living room window with dentil/hexagonal mouldings, Wright's reference to the classical Greek.
Originally the knob was a bare hill, and you could see 50 miles away. The Hagans planted all the trees.
Studio.
Stonework. All the stone is local.
A rare signature plate. Wright was in his 80s when he designed the house, a very busy time in his career. He only visited the site once.
Photos weren't allowed inside. The living room has an impressive 28-foot built-in sofa. It's part of the wall support, and another example of FLW's "client-proof" furniture.
Another mitered corner window.
The back of the house. FLW moved the porch from the front to the back of the house in response to the automobile.
Triangular-shaped fountain.
View from the back.
The Giovannitti House in Pittsburgh by Richard Meier.
Behind it, this Robert Venturi house.
Inside.
This is what the rest of the neighborhood, Squirrel Hill looks like. I wonder how they reacted to those two modern houses.
