The back of the house overlooks Cedar Lake and is located near the beautiful Lake of the Isles region of Minneapolis. A nice drive if you're in the area some day.
The prow on the edge of the carport reminds me of the prow on the Unitarian Meeting House. A carport in Minnesota winter is not quite as nice as a garage. One wonders whether the owners of the house tried to pursuade Wright to enclose the carport.....
Another example of creative stonework in a Wright building can be found at Taliesin West.
