<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 10423254, member: 37&quot;]There are 2 of these lamps.&nbsp; The second one resides in The Dana house in Springfield, IL.&nbsp; In the late 80s, our then Governor Jim Thompson, had the forsight to buy the house ($1Mil) and some of the contents back.&nbsp; The lamp was purchased for slightly over $700K at the time.&nbsp; Today, it is widely considered one of the most complete FLW houses. </p><p><br /></p><p>At the time, many thought Thompson crazy.&nbsp; He had a keen interest in antiques and the Dana house was a passionate project for him.&nbsp; It has proven to be a great investment.&nbsp; Not only has it sharply appreciated in value, but it is one of the most popular tourists sites downstate.&nbsp; I have visited twice and highly recommend it.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://chicagoreader.com/news/doing-the-wright-thing/?fbclid=IwY2xjawKa0f5leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFvdHd2VXRTbXpFMTRmUjIyAR6R6jxVFgJUkf2rCst3fd8pNHot7MEc0lpdi9HScCb8lT1Jt5FhI-npzZn0NQ_aem_fcjI11XOJO7fPkYlm-VzUg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://chicagoreader.com/news/doing-the-wright-thing/?fbclid=IwY2xjawKa0f5leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFvdHd2VXRTbXpFMTRmUjIyAR6R6jxVFgJUkf2rCst3fd8pNHot7MEc0lpdi9HScCb8lT1Jt5FhI-npzZn0NQ_aem_fcjI11XOJO7fPkYlm-VzUg" rel="nofollow">Doing the Wright Thing - Chicago Reader</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
