Title: Dining Room Chair 1948, variant to a design for the Herman T.
Mossberg Residence (1948 - S.302).
Description:
Oak chair, three-quarter view, facing forward and to the right,
the seat is upholstered, circa 1955. See House & Home -
December, 1952, p. 66-73. Table and chairs are visible in this
issue. Frank Lloyd Wright's first use of this design was in 1925
for Taliesin in Spring Green, Wisconsin, (Decorative
Designs, Hanks, 1979 p. 142). In 1948 the design became a
part of the Herman T. Mossberg Residence (1948 - S.302), (Furniture,
Heinz, 1993, p. 60-61). They were also included in the Jacobs 1
Residence (possibly mid 1980s) (1936 - S.234) (Interior
Style, Ehrlich, 2003, p. 47, 132-3). An image in "Historic
Preservation", July-Sept, 1976, p. 10 does not show these
chairs, nor does "Building
with Frank
Lloyd Wright",
Jacobs, 1978. A slight variation was designed for the Palmer
Residence (1950 - S.332) (Wright
Style, Lind, 1992, p. 149-150). According to the notes
supplied with these photographs from Kelmscott Galleries, "the
oak dining table and six chairs were commissioned by an art
professor in Kansas City circa 1955." Chairs: 32.5 (H) x 21.75
(W) x 18.5 (D). Acquired from Kelmscott Galleries.

Colleagues. "Forward. Frank Lloyd Wright, the most widely
recognized architect of the century, design several buildings in
Indiana and across the state that still bring mixed reactions
from the observing public. Some of us feel that his buildings
are very different from what we are used to seeing and others of
us see his work as the manifestation of his creative design
genius. We have prepared this exhibit to help us all understand
the importance of his design philosophy and to appreciate his
influence on the quality of contemporary home design..."

INDIANA PRESERVATION |

Date:

Title:
Indiana Preservation - March/April 2018 (Published Bi-Monthly by
Indiana Landmarks, Indianapolis, Indiana)
Author: Anonymous
Description:
Master Class. Is there a more famous
American architect than Frank Lloyd Wright? His work, eventful
life, and outsized personal ity have inspired architectural
acolytes, documentaries, films, novels, and everything from
furniture to finger puppets. Born in 1867 in Wisconsin, his
career spanned seven decades, during which he produced 1,114
architectural designs, 532 of which were built.
It’s a famous pedigree that offers no guarantee of protection.
In January, the owner demolished a Wright-designed medical
clinic in Whitefish, Montana because preservation advocates
couldn’t raise $1.7 million cash in time to buy it. A threatened
home Wright designed for his son David in Phoenix, Arizona,
found a preservation-minded rescuer who bought and donated it to
the School of Architecture at Taliesin, a master’s pro gram that
promotes Wright’s approach.
Seven Wright-designed houses remain in Indiana. Designed between
1906 and 1954, the homes illustrate the evolution of Wright’s
design ideas...
The Seven Indiana Houses include the
Christian, Armstrong, Davis,
DeRhodes, Moe, Haynes and
Mossberg. Includes nine photographs of
Wright’s work. (Digital Edition)
