THE LARGEST GROUP USONIAN--WRIGHT INSPIRED HOMES IN THE WORLD...IS IN COLUMBUS, OHIO! RIGHT NOW THAT WOULD NUMBER 48.PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS AREA WAS BUILT BY MANY OF THE RESIDENTS THEMSELVES WITH THE MOST INEXPENSIVE MEANS POSSIBLE. ALL RELYING ON THE DESIGNS. OF ONE MAN, THEODORE VANFOSSEN, WHO HAD WORKED WITH FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT, BUILDING SEVERAL OF HIS HOMES AND SPENDING TIME AT TALIESIN.. IT WAS THE TIME OF THE BEAT GENERATION AND THEN THE 60S. DONT BE A SNOB HERE. THESE WERE ARTISTS, PHOTOGRAPHERS, MUSICIANS. TRUE AVANT GARDE INDIVIDUALS AND ICONOCLASTS WITH THE BRAVERY TO FOLLOW THEIR VISION. THEY STUCK TO IT FOR ALMOST 60 YEARS AND NEW HOMES ARE RIGOROUSLY CONSIDERED AS TO THEIR DESIGN SO AS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH FRANK LLOYD WRIGHTS PRINCIPLES. MOST OF THE RESIDENTS LIVED THERE AS LONG AS THEY COULD, FINDING THE SAME PLEASURE FLWS CLIENTS FELT LIVING IN HIS CREATIONS. JUST LIKE GERMAN VILLAGE, THE LARGEST HISTORIC DISTRICT IN THE UNITED STATES (WITHOUT GOVERNMENT HELP OF ANY KIND), RUSH CREEK STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM-UP. COLUMBUS HAS BEEN A PLACE WHERE SOMEONE CAN SAY. HEY! LETS PUT ON A SHOW!
