All the flooding in the midwest has inundated Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House, near Chicago.
According to a posting in Flickr, the staff and volunteers of The National Trust were able to raise furniture and carpets on make-shift wooden tables. As of the 15th there was about a foot of water inside the house. Here is a video posted today on Youtube.
Below are some pictures from the the Landmarks Illinois.
- Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House is underwater.
- You can see where the management has tied the curtains up in garbage bags to keep them safe.
