With 20 Frank Lloyd Wright homes on the market across the country, and with their habit of languishing, the Wall Street Journal put together a piece exploring what makes a owning a Wright home a challenging proposition. Landmarks restrictions lead to costly upkeep, and if there's a persistent problem — say, flooding — good luck trying to find a piecemeal solution. And while Wright houses typically sell at a premium, a flawed alteration can devalue them. WSJ talks to a number of Wright owners, including one in Glencoe, and plenty say the pleasures outweigh the drawbacks. [WSJ, Wright Stuff, photo: Avery Coonley House]
