| FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT AND THE DEATH OF MAMA CHENEY "shines". The design of the Rest Room at the Overlook was based on a bllod red equivalent in a hotel designed by Wright. Wright was also in Kubrick's mind because
"....... On the afternoon of August 15, 1914, Wright was in Chicago working on the design for Chicago's Midway Gardens when his mistress and her two children, 8-year-old Martha and 12-year-old John, sat down for lunch on the porch at Taliesin. Inside the main dining room, at the other end of a 25-foot-long passageway, Wright’s draftsmen and laborers also gathered around a table to be served lunch by 30-year-old Barbados native Julian Carlton, a handyman and servant who had spent the summer waiting tables and performing housework at Taliesin. Carlton’s wife, Gertrude, did most of the cooking. As the workers ate their soup inside the dining room, 19-year-old draftsman Herbert Fritz and his table mates noticed something unusual. “We heard a swish as though water was thrown through the screen door. Then we saw some fluid coming under the door. It looked like dishwater. It spread out all over the floor,” he recalled. Having just served soup to Wright’s mistress and her children, Carlton instructed his wife to leave. He then returned to the porch wielding a hatchet and attacked Borthwick and her two children before dousing the floors with gasoline and setting the entire house ablaze.
