"Arm-twisting by award-winning television writer and native son Tom Fontana has brought in money for the project from an impressive roster of show business luminaries...The boathouse and gas station will join another previously unrealized Wright project, the Blue Sky Mausoleum in Forest Lawn, completed in 2004, and the landmark Darwin Martin House and Graycliff estate, both undergoing multimillion-dollar restorations, as must-see Wright destinations."
