Frank Lloyd Wright

Arguably, the 20th Century's, and America's, greatest architect! Born Frank Lincoln Wright on June 8, 1867. Died April 9, 1959. Frank Lloyd Wright was a trailblazer. He practiced organic architecture, was a leader of the Prairie School movement, and was the creator of the Usonian concept. Wright designed many beautiful homes and buildings. You might say he had a sickness, because his designs included everything from the windows to the furniture, fixtures, and carpets. He was even rumored to have told an owner or two what to wear. My wife and I have been lucky enough to visit several of his works, including: his Home and Studio (1889-1909), the Frank W. Thomas House (1901), Arthur B. Heurtley House (1902), the Gertz Bridge Cottage (1902), Unity Temple (1904-08), Robie House (1908-09), the Thomas H. Gale House (1909), Taliesin (1911, 1925+), Fallingwater (1934-48), the S.C. Johnson & Son Administration Building ... Read >

We were also thrilled to stay a couple of nights each at Muirhead Farmhouse (1950) and the John and Dorothy Haynes House (1951-52). Next, we'd like to see Hollyhock House (1919-21), the Rosenbaum House (1939), and the Marin Civic Center (1957). Love them all! Show Less <
