There was a rather spectacular, but little known stone house in SW Washington that I always loved. The owner/builder had built 4 stone houses. The first was pretty much a well done stone box. The last was a work of art. It was, appropriately, built along Rock Cr. There was a large 50x100' pond out front, with fitted stone work all around it and a very nice arched footbridge across the creek to the right of the house. A small diversion dam sent a well controlled small stream over to the upper floor of the daylight basement home. It went under the wall and into the kitchen, with raised stone sides to the stream, across the living room and out through another pass through, over a waterwheel and into the large pond. The daylight basement had large windows across the front the looked out on the pond and the base of the waterwheel. I suppose the house was about 2000 sq. ft., small for something that looked like Frank Lloyd Wright had designed, but really beautiful. After he died it fell into disrepair, we tried to buy it, but the family just let sit there slowly being ruined.
