Nearby Houses - Frank Lloyd Wright In Chicago, Blown Up Drug Lab In San Francisco

 I mentioned in the previous post that Oak Park, Illinois was Frank Lloyd Wright's home for a long time.  Then Sunday I discovered there were some of his houses around the corner from my friend's place.  Here are some pictures.  





The first pictures are of the Moore-Dugal House.  Our friends said it was for sale, but that it needed a lot of work.  






And these are some other FLW houses across the street and next door to the first house.





Sunday night we flew from Chicago to San Francisco.  My daughter-in-law is out of town and we're here to help the grandkids.  Always a delight.  The nasturtiums and sweetness my grandson planted when we were here in December are doing well - at least the ones that survived his watering schedule.  My granddaughter has a birthday Thursday.  

Yesterday after school the kids took us a couple of blocks over to see the house that blew up Thursday. 





The house on the left is the neighbor's house.









You can watch a video of the explosion from a neighbor's surveillance camera here as well as learn more details.  




And to end this on a lighter note, here's a house that looks like it's out of a cartoon that we passed on the way home.
