Your Trusted Identity in Cyberspace, Redux
This article from Wednesday's paper (The Minneapolis Star-Tribune) has brought a flurry of visits to this site. Has the world of media "flipped" so completely that people read a story in the paper and then come here from further information and confirmation? The story concerns The Ensculptic House in Minnetrista, Minnesota which I wrote about over a year ago. That post has already received a lot of attention, with comments from the current owner and the original architect.
It is truly a magnificent and unique place, and I am sad that it is no longer lived in. It is being sold for the value of the land, no bank will underwrite a mortgage for a place that is still 40 years ahead of its time, 40 years after it was built.

The house DID sell to a wonderful couple from Virginia who are restoring it to its righful glory. It will live on and not be dozed-over and replaced by a stick built clone.
I experienced first hand, btw the increased "interest" in the house due to the viral nature of its being listed/covered by the media/etc... and it was a pain to deal with the looky-lu's, in the end it is in the hands of a thoughtful couple who appreciate its uniqueness and potential.

Good for you! The internet can bring out the flakes, but it also can help connect the right people.
