Frank Lloyd Wright's Doghouse
I spotted this Frank Lloyd Wright inspired doghouse from Pre-Fab-Pets.com on crib candy.
"That would be a perfect gift for Brad Pitt if he had a dog," I thought. Last year Angelina arranged for Brad to privately visit Wright's famed Fallingwater outside of Pittsburgh.

Then I wondered if Frank Lloyd Wright ever did design a doghouse, and look what I found….

…this doghouse designed in the 1950's by Frank Lloyd Wright for Robert and Gloria Berger in San Anselmo, CA. He designed a house for them too...

And it seems the poor yellow-tagged Ennis House, damaged by earthquakes and floods in LA, has become something of a doghouse too. Who would put a sign on Wright's beautiful scrollwork?!

Maybe there are liability issues if they don't warn you about this guy…

I always learn something new from reading your blog. Very cool dog house designs too.

I wish Gigi could have an opium den within the house. She would love that.
