Built in 1858, this Italian Villa-variant Italianate-style house was designed by Napoleon Bonaparte Van Slyke and August Kutzbock, and was originally owned and lived in by H.K. Lawrence, a banker. The house was sold to Wisconsin Governor Edward Salomon in the early 1860s. The house was then acquired by Morris E. Fuller, an agricultural implement dealer, and his wife, Anna Fuller in 1865, and they lived there until 1889. In 1889, Sarah Fuller, their daughter, married Robert McKee Bashford, a lawyer who later became the Mayor of Madison and a Wisconsin State Senator, Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice, and ran a newspaper, while living at the house until his death in 1911. Between 1916 and 1928, the house was the home of Dr. Corydon Dwight and Bessie Dwight, whom helped establish the Vilas Park Zoo. In the 1930s, the mansion became a boardinghouse.
The house features sandstone block exterior walls with a front and side gable roof, eaves with dentils, a square tower with a low-slope pyramidal hipped roof, four-over-four double-hung windows, arched attic windows, decorative window trim, a front door with an arched transom, a front porch with square columns and a low-slope roof, a shorter rear ell with a gabled roof, and floor-height windows on the first floor. The house once featured many small balconies with brackets and railings on the second and third floors of the tower, and on the front gable, which have been removed, as well as a shallower, but more ornate porch at the same location as the present porch. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and is a contributing structure in the Mansion Hill Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. The house is presently utilized as an apartment building.
The schoolhouse features an ornate projecting gable bell tower with decorative weatherboard and arched glass light. The structure was identified as a schoolhouse on a county map.

Thanks for your Visit, Comment and Favorite!
first we rode up to our cabin in Hayward, Wisconsin on Wed night, this is Thurs morning just as we're about to leave.
hubb is second from the left.
we took all kinds of back roads and made several stops since we ran into some rain, we only made it to Rhinelander (about 2 hours away by freeway)
one thing thats just great about Wisconsin (among many things) is that most of the roads that would normaly be dirt are tarred, they pave everything!
this was the first time we'd packed our bike and took off for days like this, its was fun not knowing where we'd end up each night cuz it really didn't matter, as it was, we did luck-out.
about the cabin, we own it with two other couples and rent it-out out through a property-management company in the area, we use it ourselves when its not being rented, its a real nice little deal to have going.
...
thats all for today, got company comming for the weekend....
birthdays to attend to..its always something heheh.
Have a wonderful day :)

Built in phases between 1911 and 1959, this Prairie and Organic Modern-style house and office were designed by Frank Lloyd Wright to serve as his family residence and studio, with two fires leading to substantial reconstruction of the house in 1914 and 1925. The house, which is named “Taliesin”, Welsh for “Shining Brow” or “Radiant Brow”, referring to the hill upon which it is situated, is a long and rambling structure with multiple sections built at different times, with the building serving as a living laboratory for Wright’s organic design philosophy, as well as growing with Wright’s family, wealth, and business. The house sits on a hill surrounded by fields, but is notably located below the top of the hill, which Wright saw as being such a significant feature of the landscape that it should remain untouched by the house’s presence. The house’s westernmost wings served as the home of livestock and farm equipment, as well as a garage, later becoming housing for the Taliesin Fellowship, where aspiring architects apprenticed with Frank Lloyd Wright. The central wing served as the Frank Lloyd Wright studio, where Wright and his apprentices and employees worked on projects for clients, as well as where Wright often met with clients. The eastern wing served as the Wright family’s residence, and was rebuilt twice, in 1914 and 1925, after being destroyed by fire, and is overall the newest section of the complex, though some portions of the west and central wings were added after the main phase of construction of the residence was complete.
The house is clad in stucco with a wooden shingle hipped and gabled roof, with stone cladding at the base and on piers that often flank window openings, large casement windows, clerestory windows, outdoor terraces and balconies, stone chimneys, and glass french doors, all of which connect the interior of the building to the surrounding landscape. The interior of the buildings feature vaulted ceilings in common areas, stone floors, stone and plaster walls, decorative woodwork, custom-built furniture, and multiple decorative objects collected by Wright during his life. The exterior of the house has a few areas distinctive from the rest of the structure, with a cantilevered balcony extending off the east facade drawing the eye towards the surrounding landscape from the living room of the residence, next to a large set of glass doors that enclose the living room and adjacent bedroom from a shallower cantilevered terrace, while to the west of the residence, and south of the central wing, is a landscaped garden, which rests just below the crest of the hill.
The building was the full-time home of Wright from 1911 until 1937, when Wright began to spend his winters at Taliesin West in Phoenix, Arizona, due to the effects of the Wisconsin winters on his health. For the rest of Wright’s life, the house was the summer home of Wright and the Taliesin Fellowship, and following his death, the house was deeded to the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, which operated and maintained the house as a museum and the home of multiple programs until 1990. Since 1990, the house has been under the stewardship of the nonprofit Taliesin Preservation Inc., which operates the house in conjunction with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. The building is a contributing structure in the Taliesin Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976. Taliesin was one of eight Frank Lloyd Wright buildings listed as The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2019. Today, Taliesin is utilized as a museum, offering tours and interpretation of Frank Lloyd Wright’s life and work.
Had a heck of a time trying to get a clean flight shot of Sean D. Tucker in his plane. Here are a few of the better ones I managed.
Canon 550D with EF-S 10-22mm/f3.5-4.5 lens set at 22mm. ISO 200, f11 with 30 sec exposure. Small amount of perspective correction.
Originally rejected this shot due to the camera not being exactly centered in the driveway - the eye does not like something that is just slightly off symmetry. However, after looking at it again I decided it has some merit. There are quite a few objects here but the image isn't "busy" or cluttered - each object has its own space. Nor is it claustrophobic, there is the appearence of "space" almost a 3-D look along with a surprising amount of "openness" (mostly due to the foreground). Top-background lighting works well too.

In the Tropical Dome at the Mitchell Park Conservatory.
Most accounts list the Orchidaceae as the second largest plant family in the world (upwards of 25,000 species), behind only the Composite family (Asteraceae--sunflowers and asters and such). Though particularly abundant in the tropics, orchids are pretty much found world-wide. For instance there are about 30 orchid species native to the state of Wisconsin.
