Well of course they live there; that's one of Frank Lloyd Wright's worst designs. They're not going to live in one of his masterpieces, are they?

70's architecture and water damage, name a more iconic duo.

But does it come with asbestos fireproofing?

Nah, you don't need it, the relative humidity is 100%.

It was completed in 1937, not the 70s.

'37, '73, same thing.

Is that really a Frank Lloyd?

To be honest, i don't know specifically, but that's very much in his prairie school of architecture.

If you ever get a chance, try walking around in Oak Park (a nice suburb of Chicago on the far west side); a lot of Wright's earlier architectural work is there. One of his earliest buildings is there, from before he developed his prairie school, and it's... A real change of pace.
