| The phrase "in the manner of" is a red flag. Also there is no recourse if it is a fake. |

Looks like a student or maybe a drawing that's not Frank Lloyd Wright's at all. It's beautiful regardless

| Looks like the project was trying to do something similar to Bailleres. |

The siting and layout are accurate, since it's obviously a knock-off of the renderings of record.
Most telling, the redundant title " New Home for Raul Bailleres House" is not quite in the "grammer" of Wright!
The "real deal":

All imitations are real imitations.
The listing may have been pulled by eBay - there are limits on how much you are permitted to refer to one brand or manufacture when your item is not of that manufacture or brand. You can't say that a handbag is "similar to Gucci" - it either is a Gucci or it isn't. Not only does that help preserve trademarks, but it avoids confusion with buyers who do not speak English or seem incapable of reading full descriptions or nuanced wording (the types of buyers eBay seeks to protect and attract). |
