Hello Debbie,
 > There is a tourist trap located near Spring Green, Wisconsin
 > called The House  on the Hill.  The house was designed and built by a
snip
 > entire carousel with something like 100 animals on it and not one
 DS> An entire menagerie carousel!! I assume its just a showpiece and
 DS> doesn't actually run.... I have a carousel meeting tonight and will
The carousel runs (as I remember) but you can't ride it.  I never would have
guessed that there was such a thing as a club devoted to carousels! I've 
eard
of the groups of fanatics who are devoted to rollercoasters, so I guess this
is a similar fascination.
 DS> discussion. I thought Taliasin was out in Arizona or Nevada or such.
 DS> Didn't realize there was another similar house. I've read a lot about
Wright had two studio-homes, one in Arizonia for the winter, and the one in
Wisconsin for the summer. Both are still schools of architecture and working
studios.
 DS> it and would love to see it. We have a F L Wright house right here in
It's amazing where you find a Wright design now and then. I stumbled on one 
n
the town of McCook, Neb. a few years ago when I was working in that area. He
was a visionary and an important influence especially in the way he used 
new'
materials like concrete & glass blocks, plywood, etc. They have an annual
event in the Chicago area where a number of FLW's houses are open to the
public, and they provide maps and a route to drive past many others. The tour
sells out quickly & is a bit pricy, but I may have to make the pilgrimage one
of these days.
Glad I could add a bit of knowledge about your interest, and I'll look for 
he
brochure to The House on the Hill (I think we saved it) and see if there is
any more about the carousel in it.
