I remember reading references to these buildings. There is a small-format
book detailing all the Wright houses published some decades ago. It is
still available and that should be a starting point. I remember that one
of the owner-constructed houses is in Missouri and may be the only FLW
house in the state. If I recall correctly, the cost of construction
including Wright's 10% fee was under either $5K or $10K that being one of
the project's goals.
