November 2017 Auldbrass, Frank Lloyd Wright's amazing complex of buildings, is only open to the public for two days every two years!
46 people visited the 2005 Low Country Residence, designed by Frank Harmon, which won a National AIA award in 2009. Bottom photo by Barnett Adler. "I thought the Auldbrass Tour was well organized and
well implemented. Angela and Sharon kept the group on time and
together (which is not necessarily easy). It was wonderful to be on a
tour with so many people with similar interests. My only regret is
that I was not able to attend the pot luck dinner prior to the tour – that
was an excellent idea." -- Diana Corbett
Plus an outdoor lunch and tour of the award-winning Middleton Inn, designed by W. G. Clark.
