The "Wright" Choice in Springfield, Ohio to Visit.
Frank Lloyd Wright's Westcott House的点评
点评:Very interesting FLW Prairie Style home built in 1908 with Japanese influences. Tour was very informative, and I learned about Springfield, Ohio in its heyday. The film before the tour provided a good introduction Our docent, Dave, brought extensive knowledge and personal insights from visiting numerous Frank Lloyd Wright homes across the country. The visuals, including photographs, floor plans, pictures of the owners, and other historical details, were very helpful in telling the home's story.
There are stairs to climb to the 2nd floor and entrance hall, and standing during the tour. The tour was $22.
The gift shop is nice. The foundation has purchased the large home next door and plans to eventually use for the visitors center, gift shop and offices. The current gift shop will be converted back to the original garage.
Recommend downtown locally-owned restaurants Scout's Cafe for coffee and Charlo's for lunch or dinner. Both are not too far of a drive from Westcott House. Also recommend, Hartman Rock Garden, a whimsical folk art hidden gem located in Springfield.
翻译:这是一座非常有趣的弗里克·劳埃德·赖特设计的“草原风格”住宅,建于1908年,带有浓厚的日本建筑风格。参观过程极具启发性,让我对俄亥俄州斯普林菲尔德市的鼎盛时期有了深入了解。参观前的影片也起到了很好的引导作用。我们的讲解员戴夫拥有渊博的知识,他亲自造访过全美各地的众多弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特设计的住宅,因此能够提供许多个人见解。展览中展示的各类资料,包括照片、平面图、屋主的画像以及其他历史细节, likewise十分丰富。他们非常乐于助人,耐心地讲述了这栋房子的历史。
要前往二楼和门厅需要爬楼梯,参观过程中也需一直站立。参观费用为22美元。
纪念品商店很不错。该基金会已经买下了隔壁的大房子,计划日后将其用作游客中心、纪念品商店以及办公室。目前的纪念品商店则将恢复为原来的车库用途。
推荐当地由私人经营的餐馆:喝咖啡可以去Scout's Cafe,午餐或晚餐则推荐去Charlo's。这两个地方都离韦斯科特庄园不远,开车即可到达。另外还推荐哈特曼岩石花园,那是一座位于斯普林菲尔德的充满奇思妙想的民间艺术宝藏之地。
