Frank Lloyd Wright's vision is alive at Auldbrass

A modern-day plantation, Auldbrass sprawls across 300 acres of South Carolina's low-country. But just three decades ago, Auldbrass had fallen into disrepair, until Hollywood producer Joel Silver decided to restore the grand estate. Charles Osgood reports.

Thank you for saving this architectural gem for the world. Frank Lloyd Wright is one of my favourite after Vitruvius and Palladio. He was a visionary, if i ever get America again, I would like to take my family to the Guggenheim. Wishing everyone health and happiness for now and always, love from England.

[@dynjarren7523]

Another great FLW design! I’m glad that mr. Silver rescued and restored these beautifully designed buildings!

[@abralaventana]

Thank you Joel Silver!!!

[@ritaranee4787]

Clever in every way

[@josephyoung6749]

I echo that!

[@johnfronza2983]

This is wealth being used in a great way and that is why I have no problem with people having it.

[@steve19745]

Frank is smiling upon you for carrying on his name and legacy. you are a true asset and inspiration to all

[@lightowl4345]

What a beautiful restoration.

[@tammyandersonparker3068]

Fabbbulous! Joel Silver, You Rock!😍👍🏽👍🏽

[@AlbertoGonzalez-tc2ju]

Living in beaufort sc at the time, I actually had the privilege to work at this masterpiece. Very breath taking! Back at the time joel had a mini zoo. Very awesome. Pics dont do justice. This was back in 03..04.

[@trixesatelier]

I hope he is as cool as he seems. What a wonderful thing to do with one's money. Historic Preservation is very important I think, as long as we don't continue to destroy ourselves & the planet.

[@justthink5854]

Wright's homes are the only modern structures that complete and even enhance the natural settings they're in.

[@trainwreck420ish]

Cause they're organic architecture 😊

[@michaelt2625]

Unbelievable this is by far the best breathtaking frank Lloyd master piece I have ever seen this still can be a master piece 100 yrs from now on!!

[@terranceb.torrct1461]

Joel Silver god bless you for bringing back some of Wrights work .If more kids played with the blocks that Wright had as a kid I bet we would of gotten more of these masterpieces of architecture, like wow so cooooooooooooooool.

[@FlamingRobzilla]

So sad it fell into disrepair, but happy this masterpiece of architectural design has been restored.

[@maryzuffante9384]

So beautiful.... I have always wanted to just stay in one of his homes and photograph it for a week... some day... I have always loved falling waters but I think this one just stole my heart💜

[@robyn3349]

Beautiful! Thank you for saving it!

[@chrisk8187]

Auldbrass video ! ! ! ! ! !... Thanks for the "vision" and commitment!

[@mskraftee5252]

Wow! It would be a dream come true to live in a FLW house. Thank you, Joel, for saving this beautiful home.

[@sharongarcia9640]

Beautiful job of restoring this house.

[@webwhisper2701]

Gorgeous restoration job - thank you for sharing!

[@kansasadventure1831]

Never cared for his movies let alone viewed any portion of one but I appreciate what he's done with Frank's building

[@stayoutofthecitys]

That is so cool he revived it . I love love love this home . Its beautiful. Omg the he did an amazing job restoring it .

[@mellow5123]

Lovely. Thank you.

[@Hands2HealNow]

Most wonderful...I'd love to see this in greater detail.

[@Mr91495osh]

Frank L. Wright was a genius.

[@sadiehawkins90]

What a Rustic beauty!

[@bcuz2975]

Spanish moss draped Oaks frame this home. Design for site. Great preservation.

[@chrisk8187]

BRAVO! And thanks! I hope there aren't any flooding potentials to be if concern.

[@kennydawson265]

Leadership! Excellence! Awesome Observation!

[@williamsholly600]

A beautiful work of art

[@elleh3495]

I miss Charles Osgood's voice. I just want to make lunch for him and talk all day.

[@MYJ61]

So thrilled that he saved this masterpiece.

[@wayned1807]

I love all his house designs. I love that there are people who have the passion and resources to restore and maintain his creations. It's too bad he designed and built them before technology was available to build them has he intended. Most of his homes and buildings need constant maintenance to keep them standing. It's like as if the Mona Lisa was painted on a thin piece paper and then expect it to last. Beautiful, yes. Practical? Maybe not.

[@DarlyFofa]

The landscape is breathtaking!

[@marietjiehildebrandt1324]

Incredible project, so awesome

[@suelambert5760]

Great documentary!

[@williegitau6680]

Astonishing!!!

[@enblanchard5492]

Man, those trees are amazing.

[@0HARE]

Wright was a pure genius, one of the four outstanding creative geniuses of our age: Vincent Van Gogh, Frank Lloyd Wright, Gene Kelly, and Paco de Lucia.

[@yliberal6355]

The design of that home is perfect for that landscape! Wright will always live on!

[@gerryleb8575]

If you have ever been in one of his buildings, there is a feeling of rightness, everywhere. This video gives you a taste of that. He had his things. For example, being a tiny man, his buildings tend to have narrow halls and lower dimensions than large Americans might be used to. But that is a small price to pay. He still has no equal.

[@RAREFORMDESIGNS]

5'7"-5"8" is tiny?

[@DavidJGillCA]

Joel Silver also restored the John Storer House, c1923 in Hollywood and also by Wright. With both of these houses, he went beyond what had originally been built to fully realize Wright's complete design. Then he built a rather boring house by Ricardo Legorreta.

[@kennydawson265]

Awesome Observation!

[@theantichrist6524]

Beautiful job

[@riftalope]

Mister Silver... I love you, man! Doing exactly what I want to do... Except it's not Buckminster Fuller.

[@redwoods7370]

Lovely and inviting. Unique.

[@Tripplebeem]

This is not the first time Silver has saved a Wright home.

[@scottyee707]

Nice work

[@76TomD]

How beautiful!

[@juliandavidac]

Amazing

[@robertthomas5196]

I swear some of Wright's structures could start their own religion.

[@acastrohowell]

Awesome!

[@carolinebesinger8611]

Fabulous!

[@Beachcheeka]

Bravo!

[@kennydawson265]

If Mr. Frank was here today I would want him to design my first house.

[@tedtimmis8135]

Interesting but MSM always gets a thumb down.

[@d4django]

That was very very short. Please produce a longer video with more details.

[@maxstalworth491]

And thank you Frank Lloyd Wright.

[@mariondejesus5227]

Great piece of American history restored how can someone abandon flw works

[@moolardpexcellent5253]

It's beautiful

[@BunkerhillRanch]

What an inspiring way to use your money!! Great job - it. looks. fabulous!! Come see our BachmanHouse in Bentonville Arkansas sometime-at Crystal Bridges. It is a close relative to your home!!

[@JohnPrepuce]

Thank God for wealthy people with artistic hobbies.

[@dilbyjones]

Awesome

[@jonnymoka]

I wish I could own one of his buildings

[@leeh-xh1iw]

300 acres wow

[@EfrainMcshell]

grrreat!

[@stefaniadellabona9192]

Un luogo veramente magnifico sia per viverci quanto per lavorarci.

[@WulfricTheBlack]

I was expecting a tour of rooms. Maybe some before and afters. Not so much chit chat with owner. Or so many land shots.

[@tammyandersonparker3068]

We need to search for longer video on it 👍🏽👍🏽

[@heinzhinrichs9409]

Because some humans have an incredible amount ofbwealth and they can afford a ridiculously decadent home while others through no fault of their own are starving and their homes are being destroyed in the pursuit of natural resourses resulting in insane wealth at the cost of insane misery. This can't be how we as humans should live together on thie once beautiful planet. ❤️🙏🙏🙏❤️ Great architecture evokes deep emotional responses....

[@kcb5336]

There are some that are poor to no fault of their own, absolutely true. There are also some that are poor due to their own chooses. There are some that deserve every penny of luxury they enjoy. Apparently life’s not fair.

[@richardmckrell4899]

I'm guessing Open Land Trust property abuts Silver's property.

[@ronthemogul]

Did he have the huxTable dunks on?

[@giovannifunaro5408]

Video was too short

[@josiecapps2555]

Love FLW

[@jennifers6435]

Who would want to live near swamp with snakes and alligators?..love the architecture

[@chriskoop4888]

I would not mind. In fact, I would enjoy it. Have you not had alligator nuggets. Breaded and deep fried they are very good. Judging from the surrounding area you could have them when ever you wanted. :)

[@billdunn8542]

♾👍

[@smug8567]

Might be a good idea to get the cadaver sniffing dogs out to that house, just to cover all bases u know.

[@sdeee3842]

Silver has 2 of his houses and uses his logo on one of the bricks on his own house for branding Silver Productions. Silver surely loves Wright and rightly so! ( see what l did there)! 🤪 I’m in lockdown 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@mlc2158]

😍

[@lorik.6669]

"My Haven" video. Neat house, I think... Way too fast panning back and forth, literally becoming nauseous! Talking heads, a very effective way to showcase a FLW house.

[@tn8141]

If I had his money I would burn mine

[@PitsTasteGood]

Dont forget that Marion Mahoney Griffin is the only reason Frankie got anywhere.

[@deezynar]

Her marvelous renderings of Wright's designs undoubtedly gave his work a look of refinement that few others could match. But her contribution to the actual building designs has never been clearly demonstrated. Furthermore, the designs she had full responsibility for can't be proven to be without influence. Understand, almost no architect works without stealing a huge amount from others, so it is not an insult to point it out. It is just recognizing the difficulty to assign originality to pieces. The work I've seen of hers, and those she did in collaboration with her husband, was not as good as Wrights. It used the same outward forms, but the plans did not share the same philosophies.

[@VRtechman]

Joel Silver...Hmmm what have I heard about him lately? 🤔

[@ronniedelahoussayechauvin6717]

If he has passed, how can he reply? Fraudsters!

John Wayne, Your opinion is not what it's all about! Since you don't "get" it just move on without comment. Do you think the Mona Lisa or Eiffel Tower etc. are a "waste" of money? Of what possible merit are your opinions worth? It just makes YOU look petty, unsophisticated, uninformed, and immature. We don't need your approval to like something as I hope you aren't affected us not agreeing something you value. Duh...

[@confusedwhale]

Chris K: That's a lot of words for someone that doesn't listen to oneself.

[@johnwayne2103]

It is gorgeous, but my practical sense says. What a waste of money.

[@deezynar]

The folks who did all the work on it were happy to be employed. The man who's money it was, was happy to spend it on a project that he was passionate about.

[@bob733333]

A shame that only mega millionaires can afford to keep these houses standing. That's what happens when a very small number of people steal most of the world's wealth.

[@badapple65]

bob733333 I guess he didn’t earn it. Working 80 hours per week for 40 years and a guy has more than you. This means he stole what he has. The stink think that destroys a country right there.

[@tammyandersonparker3068]

You are both correct lol. Psychopaths are 1% of the population and that includes thieves of every race and socio economic level and background.

[@deezynar]

Steal? The guy makes movies. Millions of people choose to buy tickets to see his films. Nobody forces them. That's what capitalism does, it puts products on the market, and people either decide to buy them, or they don't. Products that get bought are followed by more that are like them. Ones that nobody wants don't continue to get made. People want the products and freely give their money to acquire them. No force, or cheating is involved. Both sides are happy with the transaction.

[@badapple65]
