When you showed the water lapping at the windows of that house, it reminded me of my younger days when I was parking down there with my boyfriend. The residents came out and asked us to leave. When you're young you park anywhere you can find some privacy---even someones driveway? Hey, we were young. What can I say?

is that a frank lloyd wright home that is next to the river?

[estaben52]

Very good question! This home located at 525 E State Street, Mason City, Iowa was originally designed by Walter Burley Griffen who studied Frank Lloyd Wright's "Prairie School" designs. The home had modifications conceived by Barry Byrne who took over Griffins architect practice. Thank you for your interest, Estaben52

A note of interest. Contractor Chris Rye built this home for Sam Schneider in 1915!
