... was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. :cool1: :cool1:

Wright on the Park | Park Inn Hotel (http://wrightonthepark.org/)

Very cool place. Plus they have a well stocked bar with Macallan 18 and Templeton Rye. :shots:

Very cool spot. :cheers:

I'm supposed to be spending time in Iowa for a 3-4 weeks mid to end of the summer. My company is going to be working on some revenue solutions with the Iowa Health System. I think they're based around Des Moines?

Ever peep The Robie House on the University of Chicago campus in Hyde Park? That mofo's swanky, too!

Here is where I spent the last night. Checking out in the morning and headed to Prague.

We were by there a few years back to look at the place - FLW has a couple of other places as I recall in the same town ...

I walked in while they were doing the resto ... forgot all about it until you had this post.

Might have to swing by for a stay this summer (live in MSP).

Yup that's Des Moines.

Let me know when you get to the area, Trina and I try to get Des Moines every once in a while. We will be out of state through Aug 15.

Definitely worth the stay. Go to The Quarry restaurant next door for the best food in town.

The college I attended, Umass Dartmouth, was designed by Paul Rudolph, very similar and said to be inspired by FLR. It was a very bizarre group of buildings.

My hometown had a FLW home in it. The Sterling Kinney Residence. One of my college professors owned it and we went out there for a Christmas party. Cool looking home but some of the hallways were 3 feet wide and had a 6 foot tall ceiling. It was like walking through a human sized hamster Habitrail.
