What follows is an edited excerpt from an e-mail I received from Rosemary Davison Suttle on June 17, 2000 regarding her visit to the site.
The house is very much exactly as I remember it, but keep in mind that I have not been there since the late 1950's. A part in the back which is higher than the front part looks different to me. [...]
Next weekend I will see my younger brother, who is an architect, and maybe he remembers more than I do. (My brother, Jad, spent several summers at Taliesin East, and has several stories about Frank Lloyd Wright).
This is exciting for me, I am so glad that the house is still there. As you can guess, all of the other houses on the short street have been torn down and replaced with huge two-story houses. So the flat one-story house, set far back on the property looks very different. The house is at the dead end of a cul de sac. I don't know if the swimming pool is still there. It was surrounded by the house. In fact, you could open a slim door off of the master bedroom, and just jump into the pool. Also, we would jump off of the roof into to the pool. I would love to go inside of the house. I suppose that there is very little of all of the uncomfortable built-in furniture there.
This is the far left side of the house.
This is the right end of the front of the house.
