Imoved into mine in 1971 (until I could figure out where I wanted to live). Still here! I've made many updates! I love modern open homes. The carport is afamily room, Den/bedr now the diningroom, hall removed and now a 2 bedroom very open plan (removed front den/coat closets) and now open to LR. Added 2 skylights in DR and a large 6'X 12' skylight in kitchen. Added deck to kitchen side. <br />Had a copy of the orig H&G but loaned it to new neighbor and now gone.

Many have been replaced due to defective parts, even though replacements are available.<BR/><BR/>The neighborhood behind St. Joseph's is Craigwoods - another Duenke/Fournier project which came immediately after Ridgewood. The three two-story homes on Liggett in Ridgewood are the first examples of what makes up most of Craigwoods. A 1953 article with photos and info on Craigwoods details the project, and will be incorporated here at some point.Nathan Wilberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17480788761809498879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753034431782542370.post-54188565278112163782009-03-15T21:57:00.000-05:002009-03-15T21:57:00.000-05:00I think the Fournier renovation left only one orig...I think the Fournier renovation left only one original fixture.

It would have also been nice to see someone preserve a home with all of the original features as there aren't many homes left that have them.<BR/><BR/>This should be a nice home for someone who is looking for one with few updates.Nathan Wilberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17480788761809498879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753034431782542370.post-71061513385492326482009-03-09T21:22:00.000-05:002009-03-09T21:22:00.000-05:00have you seen the Fournier house on Fournier.

We plan to distribute information to the subdivision on a larger scale once we have posted some more information in the hopes it will lead to additional resources such as plans, original photos, etc. We hope the blog can be a resource for all of our neighbors. <BR/><BR/>In the meantime, upcoming posts will include much more detailed information on the construction process which you should find very interesting as well. <BR/><BR/>We will also be working to track down and incorporate additional resources. If you would like to get in touch, just send an email; we look forward to meeting another neighbor.Nathan Wilberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17480788761809498879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753034431782542370.post-80099951907945388782008-12-14T21:44:00.000-06:002008-12-14T21:44:00.000-06:00I am glad someone has started a blog on the Ridgew...I am glad someone has started a blog on the Ridgewood subdivision.<BR/><BR/>I have been an admirer of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture for many years. I bought my house in April of 2003, because it reminded me of FLW design.<BR/><BR/>After I bought the house, I discovered who the builder was from a neighbor who has owned her house since it was new. I went to the downtown St, Louis library and searched for real estate adds in the St. Louis Post Dispatch. I found an ad for April 19, in 1953. This add mentions the Better Homes and Garden issue that highlighted the subdivision. I have purchased a copy of the issue through ebay.<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed seeing the isometric skeleton view of the house on the blog. It confirms what I imagined the bones of my house looked like.<BR/><BR/>I would like to know if anyone has an original set of house plans for one of the houses in Ridgewood. I would very much like to copy them.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18347908943752930932noreply@blogger.com
