Henry Justin Allen (1868-1950) circa 1930 (1916 - S.205). Allen is facing slightly to the left, looking slightly to the right. He was the 21st Governor of Kansas (1919-1923) and U.S. Senator from Kansas (1929-31). He was involved in the newspaper publishing business. In 1916, Allen commissioned Wright to design a home in Wichita. A beautifully designed prairie styled home, it is the only Wright designed home in Kansas. Hand written on face: "To Major Espy, With Regards, Henry J. Allen." Signed: "Van Holsbeke." Original 6.5 x 8.5 B&W photograph. 0249.44.0416

Hiram Baldwin Residence, Kenilworth, Illinois, Circa 1930 (1905 - S.107). Not dated. View of the front of the house from the West. The entrance is on the left, the semi-circular living room is on the right. 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). One unusual element designed by Frank Lloyd Wright is the decorative motif to the right of the front door. Reflective of the art glass windows. It also appears at the opposite end of the house. Photographed by Henry Fuermann. Courtesy of the Art Institute of Chicago. 8 x 10 B&W photograph. 0249.61.0722

1) Aline Barnsdall Residence A, Circa 1930 (1920 - S.210). View of the North end of the West elevation. The Living Room and Dining Room is on the first and second levels. The Dining Room, top center, overlooks the two story Living Room. The large opening leads to the basement and possibly a garage. The Entrance is to the far right. Besides the main residence, Hollyhock House, the master plan also included a Theater (project), this home, the (Theater) Director'S House, Residence A, and Residence B (demolished). Aline Barnsdall'S Residence A was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1920. In 1927, Barnsdall donated an additional 2 acres and Residence A to the City of Los Angeles, bringing the total to 13 acres, 11 of which included Hollyhock House. (Note: Dating this image circa 1930. The two trees on either side of the garage were just a few feet tall in 1923.) These four photographs were A. D. White Architectural Photograph Collection at the Cornell University Library. Andrew Dickson White was the first President of the University. Courtesy of the Cornell University Library. 10 x 7.75 B&W photograph. 0249.42.1115 -1

2) Aline Barnsdall Residence A, Circa 1930 (1920 - S.210). Partial view of the North end of the West elevation. The Living and Dining Rooms are to the far left. The Dining Room overlooks the two story Living Room. The Entrance to the home is in the center, the Kitchen is above. (As far as dating the image, the tree to the right of the Kitchen, which now reaches past the roof, was barely visible in the 1923.) Besides the main residence, Hollyhock House, the master plan also included a Theater (project), this home, the (Theater) Director'S House, Residence A, and Residence B (demolished). Aline Barnsdall'S Residence A was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1920. In 1927, Barnsdall donated an additional 2 acres and Residence A to the City of Los Angeles, bringing the total to 13 acres, 11 of which included Hollyhock House. These four photographs were A. D.

E. A. Cummings Real Estate Office, circa 1930 (late 1920s - early 1930s) (1905 - S.112). Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1905, little is know about the building, and few photographs exist. Broad overhanging eaves surrounds the building. Two pedestals on either side of the entrance hold large prairie styled concrete vases that appear to be round at the top, with four square legs setting on a square base. The two high walls that floated out from the front corners with ends attached to pedestal have been removed. Edmund Augustus Cummings was born in Lowell, Mass on Nov. 29, 1842. When he was a boy, his family moved to Elgin, Ill. He enlisted as a soldier in the war in 1860 at 18 years of age and served with General Grant. After the war, he moved to Chicago in 1864, working in the insurance and real estate business. He married Ellen M. Merrill in Chicago on Sept. 11 1867. In 1869 he formed the firm of E.A. Cummings & Co. He was very successful in the real estate business, considered one of the most successful at the time, creating as many as 250 subdivisions. He was one of the organizers of the Chicago Real Estate Board and was for a time president of the board. He was a founder and director of the Chicago Title and Trust, and vice president of the Avenue Trust and Savings Bank. He retired after being a realtor... Continue... 0249.41.0215

Dana Residence, Springfield, Illinois, Circa 1930 (Not Dated) (1902 - S.072). View of the Dana Residence entrance from the South. An unidentified dapper young man is dressed in a top hat and overcoat. The Dana residence was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1902. The building in the background on the right was demolished and is now a parking lot for the Dana Residence Tours. This photograph was removed from a scrapbook.

Dr. Allison W. Harlan House, Chicago, Illinois, Circa 1930 (1892 - S.018). View of the Harlan House from the Southeast. Note: The Ryerson and Burnham Archives, Art Institute of Chicago, dates this photograph from the 1940s. The lot on the left is vacant, the apartment building on the right has been built. The balconies are intact, and this was taken before the Gilman Land phonograph dated 1935-40 by the same library. The balcony planters have been removed. Designed in 1892 while Frank Lloyd Wright still worked for Louis Sullivan, it is considered one of Wright'S "bootlegged" houses. There are two cantilevered balconies, one that runs the length of the front of the house, and a shorter balcony on the South elevation. The face, side and possibly the base of the balcony is covered in Sullivanesque panels, and the front balcony is topped with planters. Just below the roof line is another simplified cut-out design, which is repeated in the dormer above. The entrance is reached on the left side of the house. Stairs lead up to a hall that is open on the second floor. The Library is straight ahead, Living Room to the right, Dining and Kitchen to the left. Five sets of floor to ceiling doors (and or windows) in the Living Room open to an enclosed Terrace. A side entrance is seen on the left. Over time, the front balcony was... Continue... 0249.55.0420

Dr. Allison W. Harlan House, Chicago, Illinois, Circa 1930 (Not Dated) (1892 - S.018). View of the interior hall of the Harlan House from the North. Published in Frank Lloyd Wright To 1910. Caption: "Fig. 41. Newel post and stair well in the Harlan house. The ornament carved into the wood is Sullivanesque. The "˜lightolier" atop the newel post cannot, needless to say , be ascribed to Wright." The Living Room is to the far left. Stairs on the left side of the Newel post lead down to the entrance. The door in the lower left is the interior front door. The stairs on the right lead to the second floor. The screen behind the newel repeats the newel design. The hall is open to the second floor. The balustrade, made up of vertical spindles, runs around the upper level. The semi-circular window in the stair well can be seen through the spindles. Photographer unknown. Published in Frank Lloyd Wright To 1910, Manson, 1958, p.59. Not dated. Copy 6 x 10 B&W photograph. 0249.56.0420

Dr. Allison W. Harlan House, Chicago, Illinois, Circa 1930 (Not Dated) (1892 - S.018). View of the Southwest corner of the Living Room. A large mirror of the South wall reflects the fireplace on the North side of the Living Room. Harlan livid in the house from 1892 until 1904 when he moved to New York City. According to Manson, "because of the clients inalterable determination to have twin parlors that the architect later bisected this large front space with an inner partition." Frank Lloyd Wright To 1910, 1958, p.59. Also seen in the reflection is the partition. The stairs down to the entrance can be seen through the doorway, as-well-as the Sullivanesque panel that tops the wall between the two stairways. Photographer unknown.

P. D. Hoyt Residence, Geneva, Illinois, Circa 1930s (1906 - S.120). View of the Hoyt Residence from the Southeast. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1906. Similar to S#142.29, but photographed during the summer. The landscaping is mature. 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. Photographed by Gilman Lane. Courtesy of the Oak Park Public Library. 10 x 8 B&W photograph. 0249.60.0121

Wright at the Art Institute of Chicago, September 24-25, 1930. Wright stands to the right of the St. Mark'S in-the-Bouwerie Model on exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago, 1930. In 1929 Frank Lloyd Wright designed a group of four towers for St. Mark's-in-the- Bouwerie, New York City (project). The design featured an innovative "tap root" structure, with the floors cantilevered off a vertical core. The traveling exhibition entitled "The Show" at the Art Institute of Chicago, September 25 - October 12, 1930. "The Show" exhibited in New York City; Chicago; Eugene, Oregon; Seattle, Washington; several European cities; and Milwaukee'S Layton Gallery.

Wright exhibition at the Layton Art Gallery, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 1930. The exhibition opened late November 1930. St. Mark'S in-the-Bouwerie Model (1929 project) is proximately featured, as is the Gas Station Model in the foreground. The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation dates this project 1932, but it is seen here in 1930 (see Wright 1917-1942, Pfeiffer, pages 217-218). To the left is the Wright designed Skyscraper Vase. Designed and executed circa 1905, it appeared in photographs of Wright'S 1907 exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago and published in "The Early Work" 1968, page 101-103, and measured 22.5 x 6.125 x 3.5. Behind the vase on the left and right are the Nakomis (left) and Nakoma (right) Sculptures, designed in 1924, photographed in 1926. While Wright is setting up the display he is interviewed and is quoted on Nov. 20, 1930, in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, "It will take Milwaukee fully a century to recover from the influence of these buildings" (their new courthouse). A firestorm erupted in the Milwaukee press, which increased attendance at the exhibition. See "Layton'S Legacy" 2013, pages 219-221. Original 6.25 x 8 B&W photograph. 0249.32.0913

Wright exhibition at the Layton Art Gallery, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 1930. The exhibition opened late November 1930. The Richard Lloyd Jones Residence (1929 - S.227) is proximately featured in the center. Drawings and illustrations drape the wall. The Nakomis Model, designed in 1924, photographed in 1926, sets above the partition to the right. On the table in the foreground are stacks of additional drawings for the viewers to thumb through. Of interest is the seemingly lackadaisical approach Wright took in displaying the illustrations, many of which are considered priceless today. While Wright is setting up the display he is interviewed and is quoted on Nov. 20, 1930, in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, "It will take Milwaukee fully a century to recover from the influence of these buildings" (their new courthouse). A firestorm erupted in the Milwaukee press, which increased attendance at the exhibition. See "Layton'S Legacy" 2013, pages 219-221. Original 8 x 6.25 B&W photograph. 0249.33.0913

Aline Barnsdall Hollyhock House Terrace (1917 - S.208) Circa 1930-35. Hand written on verso: "Terrace of California Club by Frank Lloyd Wright whose architectural exhibition is now at Art Institute." The City of Los Angeles was approached by Aline Barnsdall to manage part of her estate at Olive Hill as a cultural arts centre. In 1926 the City of Los Angeles agreed to manage eight acres of the Hollywood estate. Part of the ensuing negotiations between the City and Miss Barnsdall included a provision that the California Art Club would be granted a fifteen-year lease on Hollyhock House. The California Art Club happily accepted on August 31, 1927 and it remained the club's gallery and headquarters from 1927 until 1942.

William and Jessie Adams Residence, Chicago, Circa 1935-40 (1900 - S.048). Viewed from the Southeast. William Adams was a successful contractor in the Chicago area. Adam'S first collaboration with Frank Lloyd Wright was on Wright'S first major commission, the Winslow Residence. Although both the Residence and Stable were designed in 1894, it is not clear who the contractor was for the house, but it is clear that William Adams built the Stables, his signature was on the plans, "Frank Lloyd Wright Preliminary Studies 1889-1916," Volume 9, Pfeiffer, 1991, Plate 23-24. Two other major collaborations were the Heller Residences (1896 - S.038) built in 1897 and Husser (1899 - S.046). Frank Lloyd Wright also designed this home for Adams. Photographed by Gilman Lane. Etched into the negative, bottom left corner "67366."

The gambrel , or double sloping roof is a primary feature of this design, A covered veranda runs the full width of the front of the house. According to Grant Manson, Bagley was a marble merchant. "He had two Iconic colonettes in stock and wanted them incorporated in his house. The columns of the porch were reflections in wood of those which Wright had used, perforce, in the interior." Frank Lloyd Wright to 1910, 1958, p.51. Four wood columns support the roof covering the stone veranda. Two additional sets of double doors lead from the veranda into the living room.

On February 14, Darwin Martin wrote to Frank Lloyd Wright about his home and the Barton House, "We do not know what Mrs. Barton's future plans will be. She is likely to go to Swarthmore Pa. and live with her daughter. Mrs. Martin has said, that with strangers in the Barton house she would willingly give up our house, as we could pay a handsome rent and save two-thirds of the present cost of maintaining the home. It would be a financial saving of current expenses if we gave it away..." Frank Lloyd Wright's Martin House, Quinan, 2004, p.201.

George Blossom Garage, Chicago, Circa 1935-1945 (1907 - S.133). View of the Garage from the South. At a quick glance it almost appears as a small Prairie styled house. The George Blossom Residence is located in the Kenwood neighborhood of Chicago. The Kenwood neighborhood is located South of downtown Chicago, and borders the Hyde Park neighborhood on the North. Frank Lloyd Wright designed the Blossom Residence in 1892. One of his earliest homes, while he still worked for Louis Sullivan. Considered one of his "bootlegged" homes, designed in the Colonial Revival style so it would blend in. In 1906, fourteen years later, Blossom commissioned Wright to design a barn at the back of the property, assessable to the street (FLLW #0625). Not conforming to the Colonial Revival style, Wright designed a two story Prairie styled barn. The ground floor included a Carriage Room with a turntable, and a stable and a bathroom. The second floor included a living Room, Full bathroom and a feed storage room. The project was revised in January, 1907 (FLLW #0701). The design was updated for use strictly as a garage for automobiles. The ground floor eliminated the stall for the horse. The second level removed the feed storage, enlarged the living space, added a fireplace and kitchen. Photographed by Gilman Lane. Text bottom left "67355."

Broadacre City, John Howe stands next to section of Broadacre City, circa March 1935. John Henry Howe was born in 1913 in Evanston, Illinois. In 1932, a week after completing high school, he left to join Frank Lloyd Wright, who was forming the Taliesin Fellowship in Spring Green, Wisconsin. By 1937, Howe became Wright'S chief-draftsman. For more than twenty years, John Howe was known as "the pencil in Frank Lloyd Wright'S hand." How worked with Wright for 27 years. He then continued as one of the Taliesin Associated architects for another five years, when he left to form his own architectural firm. On January 23, 1935, the Taliesin Fellowship left en masse to start their trek to Arizona. This was pre Taliesin West, so their destination was La Hacienda in Chandler. "In the courtyard of our Hacienda the master and his apprentices are working on the model of Broadacre City. The model comprising an area of 12 square feet is placed at the head of the court and around it the apprentices have grouped their drafting tables..."

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 short walls that surround the front Terrace are removed, they have since been restored to the original design.. The side terrace has been enlarged, enclosed, and the exterior of the first floor has been faced with brick. Leaded glass windows have enclosed the Terrace. The roof is pitched.

Like the Hills (1900, 1906 - S.051) and Beachy Residence Remodeling (1906 - S.117), Frank Lloyd Wright made dramatic changes. The Fabyan farmhouse was originally L-shaped, the area which is now the Living Room, Dining Room and Kitchen. Wright transformed the house by creating a cruciform design, adding a bedroom on the South end, a Veranda on the North and South sides, a covered porch, veranda and two bay windows on the East side.

The Francisco Terrace and Waller Apartments were both designed as low income housing in 1895. Although the Francisco Terrace Apartments were designed first, they was constructed after the Waller Apartments. The Francisco Terrace Apartments were built adjacent to and behind the Waller Apartments, and connected on the West side. Many architectural details found in the Waller Apartments are also evident in the Francisco Terrace Apartments. It consisted of forty-four units (possibly forty-five). All apartments faced and were accessed from the inner garden courtyard except those facing the street. Instead of hallways, Wright designed each corner of the courtyard with a tower that enclosed stairs that opened to a wooden gallery which gave access to the second floor units. After nearly eight decades, and years of neglect the Francisco Terrace Apartments were demolished in March, 1974. In 1978, decorative elements were salvaged, including the Sullivanesque terra-cotta arched entrance, and reconstructed on a smaller scale in Oak Park, creating seventeen townhouses.

Emmond Residence, LaGrange, Illinois (1892 - S.015) and uses the same floor plan as the Robert Parker Residence (1892 - S.017), two houses to the East. It is also one of Wright'S earliest designs. Like the Emmond and Parker designs, there are two octagonal bays on the outside corners, with a "library" (living room) with fireplace in the center. The porch on the left has been enclosed, and eventually removed to allow room for the driveway to the garage in back. The front porch was either removed or never built as designed. According to plans published in Frank Lloyd Wright Monograph 1887-1901, Pfeiffer, 1991, p.20 (miss-labeled as the Parker House), the front porch as viewed today, 2020, has been reconstructed to reflect the original plans.

Dr. Allison W. Harlan House, Chicago, Illinois, Circa 1935-45 (1892 - S.018). View of the Harlan House from the East. Designed in 1892 while Frank Lloyd Wright still worked for Louis Sullivan, it is considered one of Wright'S "bootlegged" houses. There has been a major revision to the cantilevered balcony. It does not run the full length of the front of the house. The vertical posts and the cut-out trim that ran just below the roof line and which was repeated above the windows in the dormers has been removed. The Sullivanesque panels that covered the face and sides of the balcony was either discarded or added under the new balcony. Bracing was added under the new balcony. The balcony planters have been removed. The balcony on the South elevation was removed completely, and an addition window added between the semi-circular window and the front of the house.

Parker and Frank A. Parker were admitted to the bar. The Parker House is located about a half-block west of Frank Lloyd Wright'S home and Studio. Queen Ann in style, it is similar in design to the Robert G. Emmond House, LaGrange, Illinois (1892 - S.015) and uses the same floor plan as the Thomas H. Gale House (1892 - S.016). It is also one of Wright'S earliest designs. Like the Emmond and Gale designs, there are two octagonal bays on the outside corners, with a "library" (living room) with fireplace in the center.

Taliesin, Spring Green, Romeo and Juliet windmill Circa 1935. Designed in 1896 for Wright'S two aunts Ellen and Jane Lloyd-Jones and the Hillside Home School, it was completed in 1897. "...The reservoir finished, the Aunts intended to erect a windmill over it. This was decided upon by a family gathering which the clan usually held to make such decisions concerning the school or important affairs of their own. Said Aunt Nell, managerial mind of the school: "Why not a pretty windmill tower in keeping with our school building instead of an ugly steel tower or, for that matter, the timber ones I have seen? I am going to ask Frank for a design." "An Autobiography," Wright, 1932, page 130. Wright'S 60 foot tall structure functioned as a windmill and a belvedere. The design combined a diamond-shaped column wedged into an octagonal structure, symbolizing the embrace of Shakespeare's lovers. The original windmill was covered in shingles, and in 1938 it was resurfaced in board and batten siding. Still covered in shingles, this photograph was taken before 1938.

Hillside Home School, Taliesin Fellowship Complex Circa 1935 (1932- - S.228). View from the Southwest. Ellen (Nell) and Jane Lloyd Jones, Frank Lloyd Wright'S aunts, formed the Hillside Home School in 1887. Wright designed Hillside Home School I in 1892 (1897 - S.001). As the school grew, so did the need for more space. Wright designed Hillside Home School II in 1902, which was completed in 1903. The building was constructed of light rose colored sandstone, heavy oak beams and red roof tiles. The gymnasium/theatre was on the left, two floors of classrooms and offices in the center, and a three story assembly hall on the right. Hillside Home School closed in 1915, and the building fell into disrepair. When Wright began the Taliesin Fellowship in 1932, it became part of the Taliesin Fellowship complex. Edgar Tafel pictured the decapitated condition in 1932, "Years With Frank Lloyd Wright," p.29. Leaded glass windows broken and front columns above archway demolished. He began restoring and remodeling the building, windows have been replaced with plate glass, and lower portion of windows in the theatre now open. Lane visited Taliesin around 1935, and these could have been taken at this time. 10 x 7.5 B&W photograph. (See progression of the Hillside Home School / Taliesin Complex) 0397.33.0215

Harrison P. Young Residence Additions and Remodel, Oak park (1895 - S.036) circa 1935. View from the street, left and front sides. Frank Lloyd Wright remodeled the home in 1895. It was originally built is the 1870s and designed by William E. Coman. Wright'S modifications which were pretty extensive in 1895, included moving the house 16.5 feet further back into the lot, a new Living Room, two second floor Bedrooms, the addition of a wide porch, and reconfiguring the house'S interior spaces. This would indicate the front of the house was an addition, and Wright'S design. Details such as semi-circular window on top, the diamond shaped panes of leaded glass, decorative bracing above the three upper windows and the roof overhang, the upper corner plaster panels, and the cantilevered porch roof. Wright also designed the fireplaces in the living room and master bedroom. The original front stairs that Wright designed were reached at the end of the sidewalk where they paralleled the front porch. A left turn to the top of the stairs, then a right turn brought you up to the porch. The stairs were hidden behind the porch wall. The porch roof cantilevers over the drive on the North (left) end. There is a similarity to the design of the A.W. Herbert Residence remodeling, Evanston, IL (1902 - S.089). Photographed by Gilman Lane. 8 x 10 B&W photograph. 0397.36.0116

Randy Henning refers to the article written by Frank Lloyd Wright, p.270, but does not include it in At Taliesin, Henning, 1992. At Taliesin. The silliest scares gratuitously handed out to Americans today are the "Red Menace", ergo Russia, and the "Yellow Peril", ergo Japan. How to be childlike does not necessarily detract from the individual happiness and wisdom in the grown-up... but to be childish necessarily does. When Newsprint and politicians ebb so low that these two puppet perils are set up and puppet strings are pulled by fingers, official or unofficial, and better to watch closely to see what really is going on in behind the attempted distraction. Yes, we have recently been accused of Russian Propaganda at the Taliesin Playhouse. We sincerely are interested in the art of the cinema as we are in other arts and to leave Russia out of our widening horizon would be like throwing Hamlet out of Hamlet because we didn't like Hamlets... 4 x 10 B&W photograph of an article written by Frank Lloyd Wright on May 25, 1936, published in The Capital Times, Madison, Wisconsin, May 29, 1936.

At Taliesin, July 9, 1936. Photograph of an article written by Frank Lloyd Wright, dated July 15, 1936. Published in The Wisconsin State Journal, Madison, Wisconsin, on July 9, 1936. At Taliesin. Some People regard Taliesin and its Fellowship as an establishment. As time goes on the tendency grows to regard Taliesin as less and less the home of a creative architect and more and mores some kind of education al institution. Really it is no more like an institution than it was like one when Frank Lloyd Wright built it as a place in which to live and work. The apprenticeship then was never more than ten. Even with enlarged facilities at present apprenticeship will never be more than thirty. At one time the danger of institution loomed ahead. That was in the days when the first Taliesin prospectus was issued. But the danger soon became apparent and the plans of that date were discarded. Others were made intended to preserve individuality, flexibility, and original integrity or let us say, the integrity or originality that primarily characterized Taliesin. 2.5 x 10 B&W photograph of an article written by Frank Lloyd Wright, published in The Wisconsin State Journal, Madison, Wisconsin, on July 9, 1936.

Frank Lloyd Wright (right) stands with Contractor Ben Wiltscheck (far left), HF Johnson, Jr. (Center), during the testing of the dendriform column. The Wisconsin Industrial Commission denied permission to build the columns. According to builders a column with a nine-inch diameter at the base, could only support a maximum column height of 6 feet 9 feet. The nine-inch diameter of the Wright column carried a height of 21 feet 7.5 inches. Finally it was agreed that a test column would be built, and if it carried 12 tons, construction would proceed. A full scale mockup was created to specifications. According to The Milwaukee Journal, June 4, 1937, "Wisconsin'S internationally famous architect, Thursday (June 3) won the first round of an encounter with the Wisconsin Industrial Commission. He successfully loaded 24 tons of sand on the top of a test column which he designed for the new administration building of the S. C. Johnson & Sons Wax Co., at Racine without cracking the pillar." At twelve tons the commission was satisfied. But Wright was not.

Francisco Terrace Apartments 1938 (1895 - S.030). View of the inner courtyard. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright as one of Chicago's first low income housing in 1895. Although the Francisco Terrace Apartments were designed first, they was constructed after the Waller Apartments. The Francisco Terrace Apartments were built adjacent to and behind the Waller Apartments, and connected on the West side. Many architectural details found in the Waller Apartments are also evident in the Francisco Terrace Apartments. It consisted of forty-four units (possibly forty-five). All apartments faced and were accessed from the inner garden courtyard except those facing the street. Instead of hallways, Wright designed each corner of the courtyard with a tower that enclosed stairs that opened to a wooden gallery which gave access to the second floor units. "Open towers with elevated roofs are located at each corner of the block; these contain the public stairways, and from them circulation to the front doors of the upstairs courtyard flats is by means of an overhanging gallery running continuously around the court. The high, close-set spindles of the gallery railing is a typical "early Wright" touch..." Grant Manson. Published in Frank Lloyd Wright to 1910, Manson, 1958, p.83... Continue... 0460.36.0124

E-Z Polish Factory Entrance Circa 1939 (1905 - S.114). Copy photograph of image published in Many Masks Gill, 1987, p.158. Photographed by Grant Manson, possibly shortly after his re-discovery of the building. Manson writes, "The factory which Wright built in 1905 for the Martin Brothers, the "˜E-Z" Polish plant on Chicago'S West Side...was lost to memory until 1939... and was noticed by the author from the window of a train en route to Geneva, Illinois." Address reads "3005." This entrance has been altered since this photograph was taken. The two brick columns were removed and replace with glass. Text reads: "Help Cleaners." Note: A Martin & Martin business card published in William Everett Martin House Lesniak, 2000, p.45, reads: "E-Z Polishers" and "Help Cleaners." Below the text is the "Martin & Martin" sign, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. "3005. Gold Star Press - Printers." This would also indicate that the enhance of the East end of the building originally matched the entrance on the West end of the building. Decorative stone has been added to the doorway. There is also a "For Sale" sign, top left. William past way on September 23,1938. Upon his death, Martin & Martin Co.'s management was passed on to his son Everett (obituary). The family may have decided to put the building up for sale after his death. 4.25 x 7.75 B&W copy photograph. 0501.39.0319

Circa 1939
George D Sturges House (1939 - S.272) circa 1939. Designed and built in 1939. Photographed shortly after completion. A major portion of the home is cantilevered over the hillside. Although extremely visible, the design affords it an excessive amount of privacy. It appears windowless from the street, but the east side of the home actually has six sets of floor to ceiling double doors that open outward. The living room covers about half the floor space. Two bedrooms are adjacent to the living room and share half of the floor to ceiling doors which open to the balcony. Constructed of brick and redwood. John Lautner, apprentice from 1933-38, handled the construction. Wright utilized this design again in the 1952, Frank S. Sander Residence (S.354) in Stamford, Connecticut. 4 original 2.5 x 2 B&W Proofs, 3 original B&W Negatives. 0501.23.0401 (1-4)

Suntop Homes Model Circa 1939 (1938 - S.248). Designed for Otto Mallery, Tod Company, Armore, PA. It was originally entitled "The Ardmore Experiment" by Wright. But when Otto Tod Mallery presents plans to the Armore neighbors, they objected to an "Experiment" on their street. Wright retitled it The Armore "Suntop Houses". Although delayed for a full year, designed were finally approved (Architectural Forum, August, 1939, pp142-3). The top level is a roof deck, for "sunning", thus the name "Suntop." Although plans were drawn for four units, only one was built. Construction began on May 1, 1939. Each unit had a basement utility room, carport and two story living room on the first level. The second level had the Dining Room and kitchen, with a balcony overlooking the living room below, Master Bedroom with outside balcony, small bedroom or nursery and bath. The third level had two bedrooms and the Sun Terrace. Similar view, photographed at the same time was published in the Architectural Forum, August, 1939, pp. 142.

Circa 1939
Suntop Homes Model Circa 1939 (1938 - S.248). Designed for Otto Mallery, Tod Company, Armore, PA. It was originally entitled "The Ardmore Experiment" by Wright. But when Otto Tod Mallery presents plans to the Armore neighbors, they objected to an "Experiment" on their street. Wright retitled it The Armore "Suntop Houses". Although delayed for a full year, designed were finally approved (Architectural Forum, August, 1939, pp142-3). The top level is a roof deck, for "sunning", thus the name "Suntop." Although plans were drawn for four units, only one was built. Construction began on May 1, 1939. Each unit had a basement utility room, carport and two story living room on the first level. The second level had the Dining Room and kitchen, with a balcony overlooking the living room below, Master Bedroom with outside balcony, small bedroom or nursery and bath. The third level had two bedrooms and the Sun Terrace. This Suntop Homes model was displayed at The Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), November 12, 1940 - January 5, 1941. Label pasted to face: "AR-20. Wright. Suntop Apartments. 1939." Original 10 x 8 B&W photograph. 0501.31.0117
