Dorothy and I paid a visit to this house on the afternoon of Wednesday, March 29, 2023, having booked and paid for the tour many weeks in advance of our visit.  This site was by far the least impressive of the FLW sites we saw on this trip.   The Crystal Bridges Museum website failed to mention that no photographs are allowed inside of the residence.  The website also fails to mention that no one is allowed on the second floor of the residence.  Perhaps if I had known this ahead of time, I would not have been so disappointed. (Look here for some pictures of the interior of the home that are available on the internet.) Below is a gallery of pictures I took of the outside of this residence, as well as pictures from an exhibit inside the museum near the ticket counter, and a walk-through informational exhibit and welcome center near the residence that was designed by architecture students from the University of Arkansas.
