 * Spivey initially asked for 20 faculty houses to be built on property adjacent to the school. (91)
 * Wright's designs were similar to Herbert and Katherine Jacobs First House, the first of his Usonian homes (91)
 * They were to be two-bedroom structures
 * Wright's final plans included only 14 faculty houses, which would be located on campus (93)
 * He met with the FHA (who requested that they have pitched rather than flat grooves and had concerns about the proposed wall system)
 * But the houses were never built. "Their fate is shrouded in mystery" (93).
