A friend of mine lives in one of his houses. His family doesn't own it (some trust of bank or something does) but he lives there, and it's amazing.

A friend of mine lives in one of his houses. . . . it's amazing.

What amazes some of us about Wright's work is that apparently he never designed a roof that would not leak. An owner of one of his most famous houses, "Falling Water" nicknamed it "Rising Mildew" and the owner's wife commented, "I guess you have to expect this sort of thing when you leave a work of art out in the rain."

When owners of his houses socialized they sometimes asked each other, "Do you have a one-, two- or three-bucket roof?"
