There are obviously plenty of Wright buildings in Oak Park; we're famous for it. I'm wondering about the infamous money pits.

Sorry. I thought it was well known since Veblen that that Mid-Western civilization was all about the blatant-not-blatant money pits.

Okay, here’s one about the latest in a long tradition of remodelling:
