of Frank Lloyd Wright’s prairie house.
From the entrance foyer the large, combination living/dining room is straight ahead, on its far wall a large fireplace and from all the windows are views of the /nountains. Above the non-existent room division is a large wooden truss supporting the hip roof and the high cathedral ceiling.
Also from the foyer, up the natural blond oak bannistered staircase, are two guest rooms and a sitting area, the latter open and overlooking the living room. To the left of the dining room is a large, light kitchen,, two walls of which look out on a wide, deep partially covered deck, a pond in the valley and again, the mountains.
Beyond the kitchen is the master suite with its own screened outdoor living room and to the left of the former, that is, at the front of the house, a family room/study. The basement provides further guest quarters by way of a “dormitory” plus workroom and extensive storage.
The architect for Ridge View was John Way of Montclair, N.J.; builder, J.D. Eicher, Warrenton; and site planner, Fanning Baumgardner, Washington, Va.
