On this early September Friday, close your office door and take your federally mandated 15-minute break watching these two well-done videos about the Charnley-Norwood House in Ocean Springs. For those of you unfamiliar with the house, I will just say six words: Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright, Katrina. Oh, I’ll add two more: Historic Preservation!
This first one is on MHT’s Save My Place Mississippi Youtube channel.
This shorter video tour with Ron Miller of MDAH’s Gulf Coast office distills the Charnley House’s importance down to its essence.

Thanks to all who worked to preserve this beauty! How lucky we are to have 3 FLW homes in our state. I had the privilege of touring the Rosenbaum home in Florence, AL a couple of weeks ago…the most perfect Usonion. The only FLW in Alabama I think.
