SUMMARY:Longpage\, 1913\: Stephen Stills and Frank Lloyd Wright
DESCRIPTION:Our house. And it is a very\, very\, fine (thank you\, Stephen Stills) house. When we first saw it\, I didn’t want to go in. The house didn’t look like anything from the street\, or anything else on the street\, and hardly anything else in the city. It wasn’t a four square. It wasn’t a cottage. It was pink. There was a strange four car stone garage\, that looked\, to me\, like Tobacco Road.\n                David went in. I waited in the car. He came back wanting me to go back in with him. He said\, ““I’ve found our house.”\n               It was my favorite neighborhood and the rooms had the proportions he wanted and it was as old as a house in Nashville was going to get in the West side of town. I went in.\n             And eventually we named it\, for obvious and less obvious reasons\, Longpage. One of the less obvious reasons was the original name of Blair Boulevard was Long Avenue. We particularly liked giving that old and all-but-lost street name a shout out because Long Avenue had the distinction of being an integrated street from its earliest days. And we called it Longpage because a long page is a kind of legal document and David is a lawyer descended from lawyers\; and we called it long page to celebrate happy long days of writing for all who live within its walls.\n               The people who sold us the house thought it was from the thirties. It was really built in 1913. There were all kinds of practical reasons to love the place\: It’s walking distance to Vanderbilt\, to the Harris Teeter\, to Brown’s Diner\, to the firestation\, and what was then my daughter’s school\, the University School of Nashville. And it was architecturally intriguing\: Notice the low overhanging asymmetrical roof. I describe it as our prairie house in the center of the city. But none of that is why I knew we had to live here. \n                 I knew it was the house for us when I walked into one of the upstairs bedrooms and a rose vine had grown into the room and three fine scented roses were blooming.\n
