Do you think this original Frank Lloyd Wright home should be demolished to build a new spec home?
In late May, the Frank Lloyd Wright Conservancy learned of a pending and potentially disastrous change in ownership for the David and Gladys Wright House in Phoenix, Arizona. Since then, working in the public arena and with national and local preservation groups as well as laboring behind the scenes, the Conservancy jumped into action to save the building and its site. Despite initial public statements by the new owners that they would not demolish the house, the developers have recently indicated that "it's not a given that the house can be preserved." With possibly less than sixty days remaining to secure the building's future the Conservancy is searching for a new owner and simultaneously working for local historic designation status.

I was checking for updated to the renovation of the David & Gladys Wright home when I came across some additional photos that I hadn't posted before. There hasn't been much in the news lately, but the word is that renovations are under way. http://www.azcentral.com/community/phoenix/articles/20130319david-gladys-wright-house-owner-identified.html The new owners are being quiet about the work. Here is a link to a great inside video tour of the home. http://www.azcentral.com/video/1922782965001

It would be a CRIME to demolish such a historic home! Never allow this!
