Wilbur Wynant House
The Wilbur Wynant House (also known as 600 Fillmore or simply the Wynant House) was a house designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in Gary, Indiana, United States. During the end of the house's lifespan it was in poor condition; in the mid 2000s it was purchased by a man who planned to restore it, but it was destroyed by fire on January 9, 2006.[2]

gollark: You can handle resources nicely with function calls by having getThing or setThing or whatever, you can't do it the other way round.
gollark: I like the statelessness thing, but not the resource-oriented thing.
gollark: Also also, people cannot actually agree on what it is and what it means you should do half the time.
gollark: Also, people often want to do things like "restart" in their API, which it can't nicely express, and end up contorting it horribly.
