The Good Word
About the Grotto...
"The grotto is reminiscent of Fay
Jones' —a Frank Lloyd Wright student and protégé,
he helped pioneer 'Prairie Style' of architecture— water feature
at the Alexander
House. I actually like this better. It flows under the house while
being visible from inside the house. Fay Jones' grotto ran through
part of his house, which caused moisture problems. The house's woodwork
has a level of craftsmanship and detail you don't see in other Austin
high-end homes. I've worked on homes that did not come out this nice
that were priced much higher. I would market this house for over 3
million dollars."
About the Interior Work..."The interior work, specifically the columns,
beams, stairs, and balustrades are nicer than the work we see in the
churches that we design."

About theArts and
Craft Tradition:
"The interiors throughout provided Steve
Wauson and his team an opportunity to exhibit their considerable expertise
in Arts and Craft construction detailing. Exquisite mosaics, tile
work, cabinetry and carpentry of the three story stairway are reminiscent
of California and Prairie Craftsman styles pioneered by Greene and
Greene and Frank Lloyd Wright in the early 1900’s."
