The drilling rig is gone -- all the wells are completed. There are a total of 50 wells, each 350 feet deep! The geothermal system will heat and cool the entire complex without the need for any intrusive outdoor equipment. Everything is underground. At the Volunteers Breakfast this morning, two volunteers won, as door prizes, overnight stays in the Gardener's Cottage -- what a terrific prize. The volunteers were treated to a tour of the Frank Lloyd Wright Fontana Boathouse, a recently-completed Wright-designed working rowing boathouse on Buffalo's waterfront. After the tour, they went around the corner for breakfast at the Buffalo Yacht Club, where they were treated to an amazing view of an October lake effect rainstorm, with six-foot waves crashing over the harbor breakwall. Thank heaven it was lake effect rain, and not that other stuff that our beautiful lake treats us to....
Seven of the historic urns have been installed outside the house. They will be filled with plants next spring, following Wright's plan for the floriculture of the complex.
The photo posted today is of the front door of Martinview Cottage, and in the door glass you can see the reflection of the Barton House (the date on the photo is wrong -- never did figure out how to work that camera). The best view in the city -- don't you think?
