He is one of the world's foremost experts on Frank Lloyd Wright, and owns several houses he designed. In 1984 he bought the Storer House in western Hollywood and made considerable investments to restore it to the original condition. The Storer House's squarish relief ornament then became the company logo of Silver Pictures. In 1986 he purchased the long-neglected C. Leigh Stevens Auldbrass Plantation, in Yemassee, South Carolina, which "catapulted him into joyous rounds of restoration and building". However he once said: “I buy art - I don't make it.”
