Answers to your questions, I have not ... well maybe a few:
Wingspread looks like a 4-armed pinwheel from above - maybe a swastika if you use your imagination. No idea what is below.
"Its plan is pinwheel, a form which precedes the cruciform in Froebel training, extending from a central, three story high, octagon. The spaced is zoned; separate spaces for sleeping, kitchen etc. The home features a large centrally located chimney with in the Great Hall. It offers four fireplaces on the main level and a vertical fireplace on the mezzanine. Two signature features of the home, are the “Crow’s Nest” and the “Juliet balcony” (both requests of the children)."

F L Wright's kindergarten Froebel training is an interesting rabbit hole:

"Frank Lloyd Wright's Froebel kindergarten training and its effects upon his work have long been a matter of interest."

"Froebel did not intend his patterns merely to have aesthetic appeal. He conceived them as the instrument of a system of education based upon a pantheistic conception of nature. The aim of this was two-fold, intellectual and spiritual; an understanding of Natural Law would simultaneously develop the powers of reason and convey a sense of the harmony and order of God: ‘God’s works reflect the logic of his spirit and human education cannot do anything better than imitate the logic of nature.’
Froebel identified the governing force of nature as ‘the Divine principle of Unity’ and found a medium for conveying this metaphysical ideal during his study of crystallography (he studied several natural sciences in an effort to substantiate his preconceptions). The geometry of crystallography, which he supposed was typical of the structure of all matter, became the basis of the patterns in the kindergarten handbooks."
Why is he celebrated? Dunno. Some interesting connections to esoteric thinking. Personal life was a mess.
"...he earned “dramatically reduced charges and sentencing” of four months in prison (he served just three) and a $6,000 fine. He never even had to register as a sex offender.
Did it help that Johnson was a billionaire (Forbes estimates his wealth at $4.2 billion), a scion of one of the richest families in America (Forbes most recently ranked the Johnson family at No. 6, at $30 billion), the great-great-grandson of another S. Curtis Johnson, who founded the storied S.C. Johnson company? That he was able to afford the very best legal representation? Or that he faced justice in Racine, Wisconsin, where the family name is plastered all over the town? "
Is this it:?
"Johnson drew legal attention to himself after he made an admission to a therapist he was seeing in Arizona, who was legally obligated to report it to authorities. "
Johnson admitted to sexually assaulting his own children and many others.
Where are some of their global locations? What could be afforded in these locations? What happened to the other victims?
Following these events, the family has their name on a children’s community pool and is closely involved in the local schools.
What religion did Frank Lloyd Wright practice, and what did his father do? What about his wives? Why did he gift one a Living Doll House? What do Unitarian Universalists believe about being Evil? What is the connection with Kabbalah, Scientology and OTO? What was The Fellowship cult? What happened at Taliesin?

Curtis Johnson - don't know what he accidently admitted, but found this article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/cartercoudriet/2019/06/28/curt-johnson-billionaire-sexual-assault/?sh=6dc6a3997956
