 An entire menagerie carousel!! I assume its just a showpiece and doesn't 
actually run....
  I have a carousel meeting tonight and will pass along the info. This is the 
first time I've ever heard about this place. Thanks for telling about  it. 
Will probably generate a lot of discussion.
 I thought Taliasin was out in Arizona or Nevada or such. Didn't realize 
there was another similar house. I've read a lot about it and would love to 
see it. We have a F L Wright house right here in town but have never gone to 
seen it (must have passed it a few times though). About once a year the 
newspaper runs an article about it. Interesting architecture or is that 
considered an understatement
