Architecture CodeX #73 Reisley House, Usonia NY by Frank Lloyd Wright

AND THE NICE FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT: Architecture CodeX looks at the last person who lives in the house he and his wife commissioned from FLW as part of an unusual enclave of people looking to build a better world.  Roland's account of what it was like to work with FLW will surprise you!

ERRATA: During the video, I am pronouncing Roland's last name incorrectly.  It is RIZEley.  Any explanation as to why I did that will sound like a self-serving excuse. I know this now, as Roland RIZEley and I have been able to correspond since.  I reached out prior to recording but we were not able to communicate.  Roland RIZEley says he is 6'-0" tall not 6'-6" and raising the height to 6'-9" was Wright's idea and not Mr. RIZEley's.  I see that I misapplied the original height of the ceilings 6'-6" to Roland's own height. Roland RIZEley believes I misapplied the term "protégé" to Aaron Resnick as he was never part of any formal Taliesin apprenticeship. Roland would suggest I use the term "disciple."  As you know, once posted, it is not possible to edit or change a video, so an errata is the only means to correct my mistakes.  My apologies to you thanks again to Roland RIZEley for keeping me on track.
