Title: The Book of a Hundred Houses. A collection of Pictures, Plans and Suggestions for Householders (Hard Cover) (Published by Herbert S. Stone & Company, Eldridge Court, Chicago. Herbert S. Stone also published House Beautiful. Top edge trimmed and gilt, others uncut.)
Author: Editor: Dow, Joy Wheeler; Chapter written by: Granger, Alfred H.
Description: The article "An Architects Studio " by Alfred H. Granger was first published in the December 1899 issue of House Beautiful. It is reprinted in this volume. "An Architects Studio. When one attempts to describe almost any modern building, the first question to be asked is, 'What style?' ...One of the most radical of these opponents is Mr. Frank L. Wright, whose house and studio I have the privilege of describing... One's first impression of the dining-room is its simplicity - no rugs, no curtains, and only the necessary furniture, which, however, is in perfect harmony with the room. One entire end of the room opposite the fireplace is practically of glass, laid in leading of a very delicate design, which was evidently inspired by the lotus flower. The harmony of color between the brown and the red is perfect, and is accentuated (if one can accentuate a harmony) by the color of the walls and ceiling, which are covered with arras of a soft brown, and which give to the entire room a golden tone such as one sees in a rich sunset. In the center of the ceiling is a design of exquisite tracery, through which at night a soft light filters, and gives to the whole room a warm, rich glow. Includes 5 photographs. Note: Listed in Sweeney, but not seen by the author. (First Edition) (Sweeney 35B)

Author: Harrington, Elaine; Photographs by Hedrich-Blessing
Description: Opus 23. "It was in his house in Oak Park that Frank Lloyd Wright made his first contributions to the modern movement. In 1889 he designed the first part of the house, in 1895 he added to it for his wife, Catherine, and their family, and in 1898 for his architectural practice. The entire building was a learning laboratory of modern architecture. While not a Prairie School house, it led to the development of the Prairie School. Wright's constant changes to this complex paralleled the evolution of his early architectural work and career. There, with his young assistants, he rethought the plan, spaces, materials, proportions, and lines of American residential architecture, creating a revolution on the Prairie. His home and studio provided the architectural environment in which to experiment with his ideas in three dimensions... Included in the book is a portfolio of historic black and white photographs of the building, a number of them taken by Frank Lloyd Wright himself." (Publisher's description.)

Author: Howard, Hugh; Photographed by Straus, Roger III
Description: The buildings of Frank Lloyd Wright exercise a kind of architectural magic on the people who visit them, inspiring a sense of wonder at their visual elements, dramatic energy, and ingenious compositional features. These qualities are no more evident than in the buildings that Wright designed for himself and his family. Wright for Wright is the first book to focus exclusively on these seven houses and ten other structures. Free from the constraints of the client-architect relationship, the buildings present Wright at his unfettered best. Photographed for the first time in exquisite, full-color panoramic views by longtime Wright photographer Roger Straus, these images capture the buildings as part of the landscape-- the way Wright envisioned them. As well, Hugh Howard's insightful text reveals an intimate understanding of the great architect's art and philosophy. (Dust Jacket) First Edition. Original HC List Price $50.00. Two copies.

Title: The Oak Park Studio of Frank Lloyd Wright (Hard Cover DJ) (Published by The University of Chicago Press, Chicago, London)
Author: Schrenk, Lisa D.
Description: Dust Jacket: Between 1898 and 1909, Frank Lloyd Wright's residential studio in the idyllic Chicago suburb of Oak Park served as a nontraditional work setting as he matured into a leader in his field and formalized his iconic design ideology. Here, architectural historian Lisa D. Schrenk breaks the myth of Wright as the lone genius and reveals new insights into his early career.
With a rich narrative voice and meticulous detail, Schrenk tracks the practice's evolution: addressing how the studio fit into the Chicago-area design scene; identifying other architects working there and their contributions; and exploring how the suburban setting and the nearby presence of Wright's family influenced office life. Built as an addition to his 1889 shingle-style home, Wright's studio was a core site for the ideological development of the prairie house, one of the first truly American forms of residential architecture. Schrenk documents the educational atmosphere of Wright's office in the context of his developing design ideology, revealing three phases as he transitioned from colleague to leader. This heavily illustrated book includes a detailed discussion of the physical changes Wright made to the building and how they informed his architectural thinking and educational practices. Schrenk also addresses the later transformations of the building, including into an art center in the 1930s, its restoration in the 1970s and 80s, and its current use as a historic house museum.
Based on significant original and archival research, including interviews with Wright's family and others involved in the studio and 180 images, The Oak Park Studio of Frank Lloyd Wright offers the first comprehensive look at the early independent office of one of the world's most influential architects. Original list price $35.00.

Title: Frank Lloyd Wright's Home and Studio (Produced by In-D Media)
Description: Back cover: Disc I: Documentary Film. Beauty, Wright believed, stands paramount among all aspects of life. He sought it in everything from music, poetry, and sculpture, to his own environments. He conceived "organic architecture" - an innovative philosophy of building appropriate to time, appropriate to place, and appropriate to man - as a basis for creating beauty in his life and the lives of his clients. Wright embarked on this approach with the first residence and workplace he designed for himself. the Home and Studio in Oak Park, a suburb of Chicago. For two decades, it served not only as his own family residence but an experimental laboratory where he envisioned and tested many of the basic principles that he would develop throughout his career, principles now synonymous with organic architecture. The Home and Studio represents a critical link in fully appreciating Wright's body of work.
Disc 2: Interactive Tour The Interactive Tour presents a comprehensive documentation of the Home and Studio. It brings together a wide-ranging collection of contemporary photographs, 360-degree virtual reality panoramas, and floor plans, to create a virtual experience of the entire building. 2 - Disc Special Edition.

Title: Frank Lloyd Wright's Home and Studio (Produced by In-D Media)
Description: Originally produced in 2008. This edition is revised and condenced. Back cover: "Prolific and visionary, Frank Lloyd Wright was one of the most influential architects of the modern age. In 1889, Wright completed his first independent project, a home for his family. Wright's Oak Park Home and Studio served as his residence and workplace for the first twenty years of his career. Wright revised the design of the building multiple times, continually refining ideas that would shape his work for decades to come. It was at his Oak Park Studio that Wright pioneered his visionary Prairie style. Inspired by the expansive landscape of America's Midwest, the Prairie style was the first uniquely American architectural style of what has been called "the American Century." The Oak Park Studio years were an incredibly prolific period in Wright's career, with more than a third of his life's work produced at the site between 1898 and 1909. Contributing to the legacy of Wright's Prairie years were a group of talented young draftsmen, architects and artists drawn to the Studio by Wright's vision. The birthplace of Wright's new American architecture, the Home and Studio offers a remarkable insight into the origins of one of the twentieth century's greatest architects."

Title: Frank Lloyd Wright Wall Sconces. Pair, Circa 1908.
Description: Two original wall sconces used in a number of Frank Lloyd Wright's prairie house commissions. We have identified ten Wright designed homes and buildings, to date, where these fixtures are used. Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio (1889-1911), Westcott (1907), Robie (1906), Coonley Residence (1907) and Coach House (1911), Horner (1908), Meyer May (1908), Isabel Roberts (1908), Hotel Geneva (1911), Oscar Balch (1911), Allen (1916).
Not only did Frank Lloyd Wright design houses and building, but the furnishings and lighting. Lighting styles included the chandelier, the single- and double-pedestal table lamps and wall sconces.
Sconces are manufactured in brass and mahogany. The brass base is square: 3.906" x 3.906" x 0.59". Brass pins in the center of each side holds the wood in place. Four brass screws hold the pedestal in place. The socket assembly and screws also appear to be brass. Stamped on the exterior of the socket assembly: "Perkins. Pat. June 13-99. 3 A. 250 V.-" A round "nut"Â with a threaded tube is embedded in the wood base. The socket is screwed to the threaded tube and secured by a small headless screw. Although the socket is clearly manufactured by Perkins, the sconce itself has no manufacturing marks. Some of these sconces had pull cords to turn the light off and on, this set did not. Providence Toomey & Co.
Size: The wood base within the brass is square: 3.75" x 3.75" x .5". The brass pedestal is a sleeve that slides over the electrical socket. The square base of the pedestal is 3.4375' x 3.4375". The neck of the pedestal is square and is 1.75" x 1.75" x 2.28". The top of the pedestal is 2.125" x 2.125" x 31". Overall height: 3.25".

Description: After securing a commission with the Luxfer Prism Company, Wright built a new Studio attached to his home in 1898. Possibly staged and photographed just after completion. Brick fireplace with a circular opening. A brick column balances out each side, possibly set at 45 degrees (?), base and capped with stone. Cubed stones balance the opening and set on the hearth. Tucked behind the large vase on the far left is a Sullivanesque frieze, similar to the Winslow door panel or the panel that faces the Roloson row houses. A Wright designed studio arm chair is to the left of the fireplace. A large floor matt with an Native American pattern sets in front of the fireplace, a smaller runner is draped over the chair. Wright commissioned Orlando Giannini to paint three American Indian murals in his Oak Park home in in 1895. John Lloyd Wright wrote, " 'Skinny' Giannini from Italy painted American Indians in brilliant colors on the walls of Papa's bedroom... Papa liked Indians!" "My Father Who is on Earth," 1946, page 34. On the upper face of the fireplace hangs four frieze panels sculptured by Richard Bock for the Heller Residence in 1896. According to Richard Bock, Wright asked him to design a small panel for Mrs. Heller (1896 - S.038). "As an inducement to do the freeze he asked me to model a portrait statue of his son John, which was intended for the children's playroom in the home he was building in Oak Park. The figure was about two feet tall and was to represent a goldenrod. John Wright was then about four years old and the most contentious model I have ever encountered... It eventually turned out to be an attractive piece of sculpture of a very angelic child." "Memories of an American Artist," Bock, 1989, page 67. Courtesy of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.

On the upper face of the fireplace hangs four frieze panels sculptured by Richard Bock for the Heller Residence in 1896. According to Richard Bock, Wright asked him to design a small panel for Mrs. Heller (1896 - S.038). "As an inducement to do the freeze he asked me to model a portrait statue of his son John, which was intended for the children's playroom in the home he was building in Oak Park. The figure was about two feet tall and was to represent a goldenrod. John Wright was then about four years old and the most contentious model I have ever encountered... It eventually turned out to be an attractive piece of sculpture of a very angelic child." "Memories of an American Artist," Bock, 1989, page 67. Studio is filled with drawing boards, sculptures (3 visible), drawings and plants. An art glass piece hangs in the window. Courtesy of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.

Title: Frank Lloyd Wright Home & Studio, Oak Park, Illinois, 1974 (1889-1897 - S.002-004).
Description: View of the upper exterior of the studio. "Two Seated Males" sculpture has not yet been removed from the upper exterior of the Studio. They were added to the exterior of the studio after 1911. When Frank Lloyd Wright built his Studio in 1898, he had Bock design the four sided Stork Pillars that appear at the Entrance to the studio. "The first work I did in the new studio (Rookery Building) was the pilasters for the entrance to Wright's Oak Park studio, Showing storks standing among foliage beside a scroll with an architectural plan..." Memories of An American Artist," Bock, 1989/1991, p.67. He also worked on the "Boulder" sculpture at the same time. In 1911, When Wright converted his studio to Apartments, he squared off the corners of the second level, added a cantilevered rood, and added the sculptures just under the rood line. Two per side. The artist is unknown, but the are very similar to the Stork sculptures. Two seated men, arm in arm are sitting in front of the same tree form as the stork, leaves and berries. There is a long unscrolled scroll, and two small ones. Although not specified as a Bock, there are similarities. When the Restoration committee made the decision in 1977 to restore the Home and Studio to 1909, the upper story of the studio was restored to an octagon, the cantilever was removed as well as the sculptured figures. Stamped on sleeve: "Mar 74."Â

Description: Stamped on verso: "Apr 26, 85." Clipping pasted to verso: "Talk about architecture and sooner or later you come down to Frank Lloyd Wright. Love him or hate him, you cannot ignore the nation's most influential architect. Much of the world around us is composed of images inspired by him. 'Frank Lloyd Wright exploded the concept of how a house should be laid out. He was the one who completed the liberation of people's thinking every room had to have four walls and a door,' said Michael Herschensohn, acting director of the Chicago Architectural Foundation. 'People doing residential design in the United States after 1908 either were rejecting Frank Lloyd Wright or interpreting his ideas in some form,' Herschensohn said. 'He also trained a number of architects who went on and preached his dogma.' The first stage of that dogma was defined during the 20 years Wright lived in Oak Park, using his brown shingled home as a laboratory of building blocks to work out what he wanted to say about building houses." Caption pasted to verso: "In 1898, Frank Lloyd Wright decided he was tired of commuting to downtown Chicago to do his work. That was when he added the studio wing to his Oak Park home. He would head to the studio late at night whenever inspiration struck." Acquired from the archives of the Chicago Sun Times.

Title: Boulder Sculpture Reproduction 1999.Description: "Boulder", A reproduction of the original sculpture designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and executed by Richard Bock. Outside Oak Park Studio. Originally designed in 1898. "In 1898 Wright moved to a new location, the Edward C. Waller building, The Rookery, where he found a new patron and was employed as an expert consultant for the Luxfer Glass Company... Wright proposed to take me under his wing so I could have a studio in The Rookery Building, first getting permission from Mr. Waller. On the top floor of the building was an all glass room next to the light well... The first work I did in the new studio was the pilasters for the entrance to Wright's Oak Park studio, showing storks standing among foliage beside a scroll with an architectural plan. While I was working on this he had another idea. Atop the projecting pier alongside the entrance to the studio he wanted a solid, crouching figure of a man as a terminal. For this I made a sketch representing a boulder, and I versified it with this line: 'Old and strong, depressed and dreaming of an epoch past and gone.' He was delighted and I wanted to see and wanted to see it immediately, in full size. As luck would have it, I found a model for the difficult and neck-breaking position I had designed. His name was Clap, and I opened a new vocation for him, for he became one of the most outstanding models at the Chicago Art Institute. The modeling of the figure presented an amusing incident. Nothing could go on unless Frank had his finger in the pie, so what had been laboriously completed with the model wrenching every bone and muscle in his body, Wright would come along and want to change. This made me very impatient, so I finally locked all the doors to my studio and thus prevented him from coming in. Pacing up and down in the hall outside he threatened to break in, but I paid no attention and completed the figure as I had originally designed it, and he was perfectly pleased. Some time later the art editor of the Chicago Daily News, seeing this statue on exhibition at the Art Institute proclaimed there was 'a new Rodin in our midst.'
