On the eve of being dismantled, in the midst of a snowstorm, a Frank Lloyd Wright house of rare quality is captured in its original location for the last time.

The 1954 Bachman Wilson House, increasingly threatened by an adjacent river and the changing climate, will be trucked piece by piece from Millstone, NJ, to its new home, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, in Bentonville, AR.

Very nice work Jon. It is good that you got to film it before it was moved. My Dad is a big FLW fan, so I will send him the link.

Thanks Tim. I was hired to film the dismantling, too. Pretty fascinating. Every piece of wood had to be extracted, every nail popped out.

I'm hoping to be able to make a short from that footage as well.
