It looks like they lowered the price in half. I wonder how far along the repairs are, and if they had been successful in saving the house?

Would whoever buy that house have the right to reproduce those tiles and sell them worldwide?

If the answer is yes, I'm sure 280,000 tiles at $25 each shouldn't be a problem in the global market Very Happy

Andy, was wondering the same and I humbly approached the Real Estate people dealing with the house to see if they could furnish me with more detailed info than the basic outline on their site.

"If you can't afford to purchase the place, why are you asking for information?"

Fair point, I suppose.

Maybe we should all club together

Owning the house doesn't give you the automatic right to reproduce the tiles: you'll have to ask permission to the FLLW Foundation...good luck on that one Wink

I'm encouraged that the new owner is going to continue to restore this place.
This house also appeared in another well-known movie that most sites somehow fail to mention - The Rocketeer.
