The Zimmermans collected art to fill the house, usually asking FLW for permission before something was displayed. This is a Chinese folding mural.

The table in the foreground and the music stand in the back are all Taleisin designs. Even the carpets were specified for the house. A HiFi speaker enclosure is on the right.

Down the street is another FLW house, built to "keep up with the Jones" or Zimmermans in this case. This one is for sale.
