"second and last"

It is stated in the article that "It is the second and last of the series designed for working-class U.S. consumers, ...", and the "second and last" statement appears in the source given. But there are many (hundreds, i think) Usonian Frank Lloyd Wright houses. How can that be? Is there an error in the source. I wonder if this is the "second to last" Usonian house, instead. doncram (talk) 23:59, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I wondered about that too. I've noticed ever since I included it that other Usonians I've come across say "Usonian-inspired". —EncMstr (talk) 03:22, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Doncram that this phrase can't be correct. There are over a hundred Usonian Houses actually designed by Wright himself, not merely inspired by him or them (Carla Lind tallies them at 140 in her book Usonian Houses). There were many designed by Wright yet after he did the Gordons' (I'm looking at William Allin Storrer's Frank Lloyd Wright Companion). I know the Lykes House in Phoenix was the last one actually built, so it's conceivable that the Gordon House was the second to last actually completed. But I might recommend removing the phrase until someone can figure out what it actually means - maybe moving it to this talk page for now? Frankie Rae (talk) 00:59, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Working Class Wage

First graf cites book by Bart King that a working class wage in 1939 was $5000-$6000. Census bureau info says the median family wage/income in 1939 was about $1200.

https://www2.census.gov/prod2/decennial/documents/41272167ch7.pdf

Unclear if the source material is incorrect or if something got garbled in translation.

It's possible the article author meant to say that the cost of the house was to be between $5000-$6000, which would at least be in the ballpark of Usonian House cost targets.

Sent note to King to see if he has thoughts.
