The three windows lower left are the kitchen. The bath above has a single window. The center section is the stairwell. Designed in 1905 by Frank Lloyd Wright. The living room is semi-circular with a square roof. Like the first George Millard House (1906) in Highland Park, the second level is cantilevered on both ends. Another feature is the grille on the first level. Wright uses this design element on either side of the living room, one of which conceals the entry to the house, the entry to the porch, and also at the back of the house. The balustrades are massive, much more so than when Wright used the concept for the Stephen A. Foster Cottage (1900). Frank Lloyd Wright did not include this home in Ausgeführte Bauten und Entwürfe von Frank Lloyd Wright (1910), but interestingly included this photograph in Wendingen, 1926, part 3.

Designed and built in 1892 while Frank Lloyd Wright still worked for Louis Sullivan, it is considered one of Wright’s "bootlegged" houses. It is similar in design to the Thomas Gale Residence (1892 - S.016) and the Robert Parker Residence (1892 - S.017). It is also one of Wright’s earliest designs. According to the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust, "1935 - the terraces were enlarged and enclosed." According to Storrer, "...the Emmond has been resurfaced with brick on the lower story; the terraces have been enlarged and enclosed (about 1935)." The Prairie Stained Glass Workshop dates this image circa 1917. The side terrace has been enlarged and covered, and a pitched roof added.

Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1906. Photographed during the winter when the foliage is bare. The Hoyt House is similar in design to the Hunt and Stockman houses. In some respects a simplification of the design used in Wright’s "Fireproof" House. Square in its footprint, it is constructed of stucco with wood trim. The entrance is in the center of the front elevation and opens into the living room. Unusual for Wright because he preferred concealing the entrance. It appears very symmetrical in design. Another design element unique to the Hoyt House is the letter "H" monogram repeated at the top portion of every window. Wright emphasizes the vertical appearance with wood strips that extend from the first to the second floors, and wrap around the four corners. The trellis-arbor originally above the front door that surrounds the entrance was removed in 1917. It was replace by a small roof which is visible.

Enlarged and enhanced study photograph of the Winter Garden Fountain. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1913, the sculptures were executed by Alfonso Iannelli. Midway Gardens was built in 1914 and demolished in 1929. Two fountains were located in the Winter Garden, one at either end of the promenade. As you enter Midway Gardens through the Belvedere, stairs lead down to the Promenade. This fountain was originally located in the center of the stairs. The promenade lead to the Winter Garden Restaurant. At some point in time, one of the two fountains was moved to the center of the dance floor and set on a pedestal. In 1953, Iannelli wrote an essay for his unpublished book. "My last problems were two fountains at the entry of the dining room which was worked out by John (Lloyd Wright) and me on the Cube theme – children sprites playing over and around the Cube – a playful garland of planes winding over and around, protruding and receding into the mass. Mr. Wright made some suggestions as it was being carried out." Alfanso Iannelli, Jameson, 2013, p.80-81. This is one of only two photographs of the fountain that has survived. In 1939, ten years...

From the street side the boathouse looks like a one-story building. The boathouse was cut into the hillside. From the street a "T" footbridge led to a covered semicircular loggia. At both ends of the loggia were covered pavilions that were the top floors of identical towers. A bridge connected the two towers. The roof and sides of the boathouse were covered in shingles, with the top five feet of both towers covered in cream plaster. On three sides of each tower, were three arched windows and doors. The roofs of the towers were low-pitched with broad overhangs. Photographed by Charles Stanley Hanks.

They dubbed their home "Bird Center," decorating it with jig sawed and painted birds.  In 1920, John moved back to Oak Park, to the apartment which his father had outfitted over the old studio in order to provide some income for John's mother, who still lived in the old family home...  Continue... 0142.03.0307 1920 Wright at 53.

This photograph taken one year after her husband, Avery Coonley past away. Queene Ferry Coonley, born Addie Elizabeth Ferry, (1874-1958), was born in Detroit to garden seed magnate Dexter Ferry and his wife Addie. Queene graduated from Vassar College in 1896, married Avery Coonley in 1901. They had one child, Elizabeth Ferry Coonley, born in 1902. Mrs. Avery (Queene Ferry) Coonley, a believer in the early childhood education, attempted to enroll her daughter in Kindergarten. She was denied entrance because her daughter was not yet five. In 1906, Mrs. Coonley formed the Cottage School in Riverside, Illinois, a private independent school. In 1912, Wright designed the Coonley Playhouse to accommodate the growth of the Cottage School. The school continued to grow, and In 1916, moved to a new facility. In addition to her duties at school she was treasurer of the National Women’s Party; a trustee of Vassar College and vice president of the Progressive Education Association.

Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1915 as a Brick and concrete building, it was capped by a pattered block on the fourth floor. Construction on the warehouse began in 1917, but was halted in 1921 when costs surpassed $125,000, on an estimated building cost of $30,000. The entrance and windows are boarded up. Although the building was never completed as Wright had fully designed it, and it is shown boarded up, he still chose to include it in the Wendingen Series, published in 1925. To the far right is German’s original, two-story warehouse. Text on face of building reads "Wholesale Floor and Sugar."

Perspective view of the Lake Tahoe Summer Colony Wigwam design. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1922, it included three types of cottages. Shore-Types, built on the lake’s shore, Cabin Types and Wigwam Types, built in the forest. He also designed cottages that floated out on Lake Tahoe. The Lake Tahoe Summer Colony would remain a project, but the concept would be resurrected in the future.        In 1949, Wright designed the Thomas C. Lea House (FLLW #4910), a variation of the original Lake Tahoe Summer Colony project (1922). Where the Lake Tahoe consisted mostly of cottages and cabins, a bedroom wing was added to the Lea House. When Thomas Lea did not proceed with the project, slight modifications were made to the plans, and presented to Dr. Richard & Madelyn Davis. Although the Davis was the second “Wigwam” design to be built, the Davis is the closest to the original Lake Tahoe design. After 28 years, Wright’s Wigwam concept finally became a reality.

View of the Main Lobby, from the North. The opening in the center leads into the Dining Room. Looking South. Frank Lloyd Wright designed most of the furniture and carpets for the Imperial Hotel. The chair and table in the foreground on the far left was designed by Wright, as was the armchair on the far right. The two matching armchairs in the center, match details of other Wright designed furniture for the Imperial hotel. Woven cane was added between some of the legs of the table, and the chair on the left. Cane was also added to the back of the chair, and possibly the seat, then fabric to the front side of the chair back. The pair of armchairs in the center are similar to armchairs seen in the bedrooms, but these do not appear to be upholstered with the "Imperial Triangle" fabric. The arm rests and legs are consistent with this style of bedroom furniture and match "stair step" design of floor lamps in the Imperial Hotel. The armchair on the far right is designed by Wright, and appears to be upholstered in leather.

Two pads are held in place by ties that are fed through the frame to the back side and match the "Imperial Triangle" fabric used throughout the room. The two armchairs and hassock are upholstered with matching fabric, as is the bedspread and pillow cover. The long desk/table is intricate and complex. The light stand is attached to one side of the table, has a large bulb that lights the desk, and an upper light that illuminated the ceiling.

In 1922, Wright's first wife, Kitty, granted him a divorce. He was required to wait one year and on November 19, 1923, Miriam and Frank were married in Spring Green, Wisconsin. Their relationship was quite tumultuous. Wright explains in his Autobiography that he married her to rescue their relationship. "Marriage resulted in ruin for both. Instead of improving with marriage, as I had hoped, our relationship became worse." (An Autobiography, p 260). They quarreled a great deal, she was addicted to morphine, and in less than a year they were separated.

In 1926 Frank Lloyd Wright designed six Children's play houses for the Oak Park Playground association. All six, variations on the same design. The basic design was square, with a fireplace in the center, and two terraces off of either side. He named the series "Kindersymphonies" (1926 - project 2601). Fanciful in design, Wright added balloons, light poles, pendants with colored globes, perforated light globes, circular lights, large circular urns. The windows appear to be elaborate stained glass geometric designs dominated by circles. Although square in design, circles decorate the design. Like the Coonley Playhouse and Midway Gardens, circles became decorative elements in both designs. In 1959 during Wright's last interview he said, "A creative teacher is one of the finest examples of humanity." Then he said that a child should begin to learn what is called art at the earliest possible age. "Put blocks in the child's hands," he said. "Let the child hold a sphere, a ball—and get a sense of the universe, a sense of God." FLW A Biography, Farr, 1961, p.278.

Wright’s plans were well received by the Madison Realty Company. Models were created by Wright and photographed on August 3, 1926 at Taliesin, Spring Green, Wisconsin for Franz A. Aust, by Melvin E. Diemer. Terra-cotta Nakoma and Nakomis sets were created in 1929-1930 by Charles L. Morgan. Frank Lloyd Wright’s project number for the Nakoma Sculptures was 2906, dating it as 1929. According to Oskar Munuz and Doug Volker, Taliesin West, this white plaster figure was most likely created for used in creating the 1929 terra cotta sets, not the original figure photographed in 1926. Note the left arm of father (right side) where it intersects with the son’s head. The arm in this model closer to the base of the neck then the back of the head, as in the 1926 photograph. Photographed in June, 2013 by Oskar Munuz, Taliesin West. 8 x 10 Color photograph.

As a result of his work on the Arizona Biltmore, in April, 1928, Alexander J. Chandler (1859-1950), one of the Phoenix area's successful developers, commissioned Wright to design ‘San Marcos in the Desert". By May he had a design for the resort in mind. The site for the resort consisted of 1,400 acres, located south of Phoenix at the base of the Salt River Mountains. Chandler approved of Wright's proposal, and in January 1929, Wright built a temporary camp on a low mound south of the site for San Marcos. Built near Chandler, Arizona, he called the camp "Ocatilla" after the giant desert shrub that grew in the area. He designed his temporary encampment with low board walls and angled enclosures. He went as far as constructing a full-scale sample of the textile blocks he envisioned for the resort. He completed the working drawings for the resort by late May, and left for Taliesin. In June, much of the camp was destroyed by fire. The stock market crash in October, and whatever hope of completion vanished. What remained of the camp gradually fell into ruin, slowly consumed by the desert and vanished with the project.
