[Randex]House of scandal?


Recommended Posts

While the apprentices scraped by [...], the Wrights lived like royalty [...]. One dinner guest, Ayn Rand -- who had used Wright as the model for Howard Roark in her most famous novel, The Fountainhead -- was appalled. "It was like a feudal establishment," wrote Rand, no bleeding-heart liberal herself. The apprentices were "like medieval serfs. The most horrible thing was that the menu for his table, where his guests also ate, was different than the menu for his students. We ate on a raised platform, high above the others, we ate fancy delicacies and they got fried eggs; it was a real caste system."
