A Dog House by Frank Lloyd Wright: "Yes, it does leak."
He had a paper route, he said, and hoped that the architect might design for Eddie, his black Lab, a house "which would be easy to build and would go with our house." His father had commissioned Wright to design a house in 1952, and would spend 20 years building it in San Anselmo, Calif. -- Architects and Artisans

Your Say
I know Wright did at least a few small projects. Cloquet, Minnesota is not known for much, but it does feature a gas station (Phillips 66, IIRC) that was designed by Wright. I've been inside it, bought a couple of the postcards, but I can't say that there was anything particularly impressive about it.

"Yes, it does leak."
Heh. The difference between an architect and a carpenter, I guess. I bet Sippican could make a dog house that didn't leak. At least not much.
