Dr. Carsons home was designed by the famous prairie school architect, William Purcell who was a student of Frank Lloyd Wright. Apparently, Dr. Carson and Mr. Purcell were personal friends and when the home was being built in 1941, they corresponded frequently between California and Minnesota. Dr. Carson still has the letters which clearly document Purcell's philosophies and intentions for their home. Ms. Repya concluded by explaining that Dr. Carson and his son had expressed interest in presenting their rezoning request at the February meetings; she then promised to keep the Board advised as more information became available. E. Sly Family's Handyman's House Marilyn Curtis announced that the Sly Family' Handyman's house at West 60th Street and Wooddale Avenue was currently for sale.
