Restoration in progress
Those that toured the Harry C. Goodrich House during the Wright Plus 2005 house walk had a rare opportunity to se a restoration in progress. The walls were stripped down to bare plaster and the origional paint colors were revealed. The owners plan to restore the interor paint to Wright's origional scheme.
Its interesting to note that the owners are in residence while this work is being done. When you own a FLW home being in the middle of a restoration project must be the norm.
