Cedar Rock estate faces end of perpetual trust in 2011
The Frank Lloyd Wright home Cedar Rock near here relies on a $1.29 million trust and a 200-acre farm buffer built by Lowell and Agnes Walter in the 1940s. With the trust shrinking, the $300000 annual operating cost must be funded by the state parks budget starting fiscal 2011. Local site manager Pat Schmitz notes the farmland provides income but the steep decline risks liquidation, while the DNR pledges to preserve the property.
