Frank Lloyd Wright designed Eppstein House... let the restoration begin!

The bids are coming in and soon the restoration will begin for the Eppstein house. It will be wonderful to see this home completed.

Some brief history....
The Acres (officially named "Galesburg Country Homes") is located in Galesburg Michigan. It is a very unique place as it consists of 75 acres with only four FLW homes on it and one Willy Willis home. Willy was a student of Franks at Taliesin.
As the story goes a group of scientists at Upjohn got together and brought FLW here to design these homes for them. Part of the group decided that they did not want to be in the country so they split off and created Parkwyn Village. Parkwyn has only four FLW homes in it too, but it also contains a large number of non Wright homes that are more traditional.
At The Acres each home is situated on a circular shaped one acre lot. The remaining acreage was meant to have a great many more homes built on it. However, the association maintains control of the land and many years ago it was decided that it would not be sold. No more homes will be built here thus allowing the layout of the land to feel very much like a wildlife refuge.
Of course each home has it's own story to tell and the focus here will be on the Eppstein House.

The restoration will be documented in before and after photos that will be put into a book that will also contain original plans of the home and original letters that were written between FLW and the Eppsteins. The book, once completed, will remain with the home for the new owners and visitors to enjoy.
Stayed tuned for part 2...
