Millstone, New Jersey FLLWBC WRIGHT SPIRIT AWARD 2008 In 1988, Sharon and Lawrence Tarantino acquired the neglected Bachman-Wilson House, ca. 1954, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Tarantino Architect guided the complete restoration, as well as rebuilt the kitchen according to Mr. Wright's original drawings. Additionally, furnishings have been restored and rebuilt, with 1950's upholstery fabrics selected appropriate for the house and the period. The house is sited along the Millstone River and is a 20th Century contributing structure in the National Historic District of the Borough of Millstone. This mid-fifties Usonian is one of the purest of Mr. Wright's designs of this period, with regard to a culmination of his long prolific design philosophy: a work of art in simplicity and form, unencumbered by programmatic constraints. |
