Bernard Schwartz House

The Bernard (and Fern) Schwartz House, also known as Still Bend, is a 3,000 sq foot Frank Lloyd Wright-designed house in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. It is considered to be Wright's Life magazine "Dream House," and is a rare example of a two-story Usonian house. Wright originally developed the design for the house for Life in 1938.[1][2] The Schwartz House is one of the few Wright homes that allow guests to spend the night. This property is believed to have the oldest, continuously operating in-floor heating system in the country.[3]

gollark: It could be visible only from certain directions or something, I suppose. It's consistent with that other door, ish.
gollark: Is it too retcon-y to have a staircase in the floor or door or something after the cube begins glowing? It *does* say something about an expanse of nothing.
gollark: I guess you can easily patch in new content in the later fairly open-ended sections.
gollark: I see.
gollark: Where?
