|
These images
were photographed by Gilman Lane and are dated 1935-1945.

In The Nature of

were taken before 1941. Little can be found about

Lane. He photographed
building in the
Chicago area including many of Wright’s work. His
photographs were given to the Oak Park Public Library after
his death in 1961. SAIC dates these images between 1935-1945.
