Frank Lloyd Wright-Herman T. Mossberg House tour. She was very kind to ask us if we wanted a tour when she noticed we were taking still photos of the house.

I have heard that other FLW homeowners often invite admirers in. Truly a beautiful thing to share the joy and allow other's to see it.

+Greg Appelgren That is true. The original owners were a special breed and their enthusiasm for their homes and their very high tolerance of being inconvenienced by others was to marvel at. I got one of the same sort of fortuitous tours by John C Pew in Madison, WI and pre-arranged but private tours by Melvin Maxwell Smith in Michigan and Louis Penfield in Ohio. But that was decades ago. Considering the explosion of interest in Wright and the easy availability of Storer's guide book I'm amazed that there are still owners like that.

To the man behind the camera - Thank You! Anyone else may have been so excited - it would span with energy of the experience!!! I'm a "chief-cook and Love the kitchen"!!! Love the Polar Bears! ...and the occupant's elements just match the design - even the sweet dog is a match to the harmony. Mom has no clue how well "Shawn" is experiencing this "space in time" - (sad fire in his Wisconsin Home) Closet ROCKS! Fixtures are Original! Suggestion for brick Mortar Cleaning - (baking soda, Dawn "a little", and a 1/4 teaspoon of bleach per box of soda - this with warm water and a scrup-brush "nail brush works fab" will bring back the light color of the Mortar" No Vinegar - it is an acid and will eat into concrete and brick. I adore the Passion of this House Helper! aka Housekeeper- Thank you Shawn, Mom, and House Helper! Thank you so much for this Treasure Experience ❤ FLW must be experiencing an energy appreciation for this - ⚛

I am a native of South Bend and grew up near Twickingham Hills where the Mossberg house was. It was considered to be something of a legend, in its day.

The Herman T Mossberg House in South Bend Indiana was built in 1948. The two story front facade and the front door in full view parallel to the street are both atypical for Wright's work of this period. The sloped roof is also perhaps less common than a flat roof in Wright's work of the 40's. The stair hung from above with steel rods or bars originated at Fallingwater, 1936. You might say it's one of Wright's more conservative designs, but that's not saying much. So why did Wright give the Mossberg's these features and others in this design? Probably because they asked for these things or they said they liked another Wright house that had these features. Wright was more flexible and accommodating than is commonly understood and it seems Mrs Mossberg had charmed and disarmed Wright.

I am not trying to insinuate anything. This was a great tour, but having said that-- I feel like someone who is very interested in FLW. Appreciating the uniqueness is all part of the art form. This is more than just a house, its a piece of art and history. Saying things like " you'd think they would want to have their own furniture in here instead of this" or "the kitchen isn't big enough" to me sounds like you simply don't get it. Non the less, thanks for the tour.

It is good to know that the house is still in the family. Did not know Frank was a small space guy and, I am going to guess and say that the bathroom sink triangle fixture is not an original (70 years is a bit too long for a water fixture). I love all the homes of Wright.

The owner wanted me to post an update. Not all of the information provided was completely accurate. During the tour apparently she made a few statements that were not entirely accurate. I was not privy to the exact information that was incorrect but I believe it was of a personal nature when the family members were being included in the conversation. She also wanted everyone to know that the house was not as presentable as she would have liked. Completely understandable however she did allow the video to remain as is. My mother and I very much enjoyed our day touring through the house. It's a memory I will cherish throughout my life. I am so happy that this video is a time capsule of that day spent with my mother.

I found one of his homes in florida the owner died and a person bought it as a tax wright off ! its sitting empty he has a lot of hidden rooms he put into it very bizzare carport/car storage design he put a building in the middle mostly for tool storage i see a lot of it in this home. high ceilings a lot of natural light. The kitchen is almost identical but it has a small sitting area with a fireplace and in the middle he layed the bricks sideways and at an angle it all flows together and works amazing with the ceilings.

There is a TON of misinformation here but kudos to the "son" for his videography. He decided early on to do his own thing and capture as much as he could. In 1946, people didn't have huge kitchens or huge bedrooms or huge bathrooms? What does a family of four need with 6,000 sq. feet? Ridiculous.

These days they can make a house but you wont want to leave much. I used to study architecture and more and more I cant concern these types of dwellings. They are endless on detail and make outside life marginal. It reminds me of Martha Stewart and a life long career in between the backyard and the kitchen. These days crafts and cakes can take over your days truly.

Planet guy, Too bad for you that you don't "get it". It doesn't mean that one has embrace it for themselves, but that's why there are so many alternative options out there. Not everyone likes the same cars, food, clothing and music etc., but it would be pretty boring world if everything was the same. I loved FLW since I was in jr. high. I'm now 73 and still enjoy the vast panoply of variety in architecture, design, food, nature, music and so on. Life on earth would be torture without it. Enjoy the differences..........
