Eddie’s House
At Letters of Note, there is a correspondence between to Frank Lloyd Wright and 12-year old Jim Berger:
Dear Mr Wright
I wrote you June 19, 1956 about designing my dog Eddie a dog house to go with the house you designed for my dad. You told me to write you again in November so I ask you again, could you design me a dog house.
Respectfully yours,
Jim Berger
Despite his curmudgeonly reputation, Wright agreed, and supplied a full set of drawings the following year. Eddie’s House was finally constructed in 1963.1
