 We also learned last week that as of today, there are still tickets available for this usually sold-out annual event.  This year's edition takes place Saturday May 18th, and offers rare interior tours of nine private homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, including the 1913 Harry S. Adams House, and such contemporaries as John S. Bergen, plus three other landmark FLW buildings.  Tickets - $85.00 for Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust members, $100.00 for non-members - can be purchased on-line. More information here.
