We have to agree it is wonderful. Of course we are a bit biased. La Grande has been economically depressed for a long time. Housing prices here are amazingly low, though people who have always lived here don't see it that way. We try to buy from local merchants here whenever possible and hope that the money we are spending fixing up our house will stay here to help the economy. Compared to SF, of course, the house would seem like a steal. Thanks for your comment. Anne & Gary We’re glad you like our house. We have to agree it is wonderful. Of course we are a bit biased.

It's odd to learn that there are no others from the same style/era nearby. Mostly though I'm jealous because, compared to the SF Bay Area, I'll bet you got that great house, in La Grande for a relative steal! Did you see that there was a Frank Lloyd Wright house for sale in CA recently? It's in a remote area, so a million two seems like a lot, but when is there the chance to buy a FLW? See http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgif=/c/a/2009/03/08/RE0U167P7D.DTL&hw=frank+lloyd+wright&sn=001&sc=1000 Beautiful houses in remote(ish) areas; you have some company! Hope your sleuthing pays off. Your house is gorgeous! It’s odd to learn that there are no others from the same style/era nearby.
