    Ahhhh the sixties... I envision myself one early Saturday morning wearing plaid shorts, black shoes with white socks smoking a cigarette heading to the hardware store to buy a bag of nails.
    SWB cars are an acquired taste however once acquired theirs no turning back.

    looks like a 67 911 in garage--no reflectors near bumper guards and center bar in the engine grill .

    Wright hated garages. Thought people only filled them up with storage so he always did car ports. I think Falling Water in PA was the exception. You architects feel free to correct me.

    $4.25M seems like a bargain for a piece of history. Real-estate prices in CA are absurd - so this seems light to me when average home prices in many areas are north of $1M.

    I can't comment on his rationale, but believe you are correct... every Usonian house I've seen (and all the plans I've read about in books on the subject) feature carports, not garages.

    Carports are cheap too, so nearly every major post-war builder mimicked Wright, including them as popular fashion for "ranch" houses dominated until the '70s. By then, garages were an upsell.

    Anyway, the Freeman house is well documented and an important and striking example of Wright's work. Considering the included original furniture and fixtures, it's a bargain!
