The first church building for the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Milwaukee was built on the Northeast corner of Broadway and Knapp Streets in 1914. In the mid 1950s, as the Greek community prospered and moved to the outskirts of town, they made a decision to build closer to where their members lived. They also made a decision to have Frank Lloyd Wright design their new building. This building was their home and community center from 1914 through 1961.

In 1903, at the age of 16, she and her older sister immigrated to the United States, finally arriving at their Uncles farm in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. She eventually became a student nurse and then was admitted to Columbia University of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City. In 1915, she married Richard Sloane, one of the faculty members at Columbia. Six months later she was widowed. She married Lucius Boomer in September, 1920. She hired Frank Lloyd Wright to design a home in 1953, the Boomer Residence, and gave it to the Phoenix Art Museum in 1958. She passed away on May 7, 1971. Possibly photographed on one of her trips to Norway. 4 x 5 B&W photograph. 0831.40.1014 1950 Mrs. Avery Coonley (1907 - S.135 ), Circa 1950. 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. In 1954, Queene Ferry Coonley published "Great thoughts: an anthology of sayings, garnered over the years". She past away in the same year a Wright, 1959. Original 5 x 5.5 B&W photograph.

Perspective view of the Davis Residence. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1950. 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.

Copy photograph of 1950 floor plan for the Davis residence, published in September 1960 House & Home. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1950. From the carport, the front door leads into the entryway. The small windows cut into the front door mimic the hexagonal shape of the houses’ Teepee foot print. To the right of the entry is the workspace and utility room, both set inside masonry walls, the studio and the bedroom wing. Dividing the entry from the living room is a shelf, cabinet and built-in seating. In the center of the teepee is a massive chimney that forms the core of the teepee. As you continue through the living room, the dining room table was originally on the left side of the fireplace, balanced by the built-in seating on the right side. The bedroom wing held the studio, two children’s bedroom separated by a folding partition, the master bedroom and two bathrooms. 10 x 7 B&W Photograph. 0831.122.1024 C 1950 Victor Falkenau Row House, Chicago, Circa 1950.

Wille was the Florida Southern College photographer for 29 years, "The Buildings of Frank Lloyd Wright at Florida Southern College", p.100. Wright visited the campus 8 times during the 40s and 50s (1942, 1945, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1954, 1955, 1957). The style of the lapels on Wright's jacket were predominate during the 30s and 40s, and for Wright the latest in 1951. A similar image is dated 1950 (S#831.22). Taking all this into consideration, the March, 1950 visit seems most reasonable. Stamped on verso: "Date Used: 1959, 1968, 1986, 1988 (2), 1989, 1994, 1995 (2), 1997."

The Pavilion which used to be on the South side the Fricke home was demolished to make room for the Brick home on the far right, which was originally built in 1949. Like the Thomas Residence, also 1901 and in Oak Park, it is an all-stucco exterior. But unlike the Thomas Residence which is considered Frank Lloyd Wright's first fully developed prairie styled house in Oak Park, it includes elements of Wright's transitional designs. Like the Rollin Furbeck Residence (1897), it includes elements of Wright's transitional period. Broad overhanging eves, corners are turned at a 45 degree angle, it includes a massive central tower, there are rectangular square windows with columns and it is more vertical than Wright's prairie styled horizontal designs. It is also a three story home. Where the Rollin columns were round, these are closer to the appearance of the square Thomas columns. Courtesy of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Concurrently he remodeled a cottage for Heurtley on Marquette Island, in Michigan. The renovation included alterations to the bedrooms and bath on the first floor, and reconfiguring the basement to include a dining room, kitchen and servants quarters.

Photograph of original drawing in the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1950. Southeast elevation of the Robert and Elizabeth Muirhead Residence. The Muirhead were farmers, on the same land Robert's grandfather homesteaded in the 1860. When they took over the family farm, they found the two-story farm house inadequate for their family's needs. They were uninspired by the local architects and contacted Frank Lloyd Wright. On a trip to Taliesin, Spring Green, in the Summer of 1948, they met Frank Lloyd Wright and made the decision to have him design their house. It would be another two years before they would see the first set of plans. They needed a "farmhouse." A large dining room and kitchen for feeding groups of farmhands, but separated from their living room. Wright provided a solution. Initial plans separate the living room and bedroom wing from the dining, kitchen and office with a covered breeze way. They were pleased with the plans, but an open walkway on cold winter nights was not practical. The breeze way was enclosed. The open breeze way is clearly visible on the left.

On May 16, 1950, Frank Lloyd Wright visited the School of Design at North Carolina State University. He spoke to over 5,000 people at Reynolds Coliseum, at the time largest attendance for any US architecture lecture. He was given a rising ovation by the audience as he entered the Coliseum. He was introduced by H. Th. Wijdeveld, an early publisher of Wright's work in the magazine Wendingen. He taught architecture in the U. S. Between 1947 and 1952. Wright described architecture as "the greatest of all the arts and mother of the arts, the very essence and soul of our culture. Organic architecture is founded upon the essential principles which we should call democracy. Organic architecture grows from within outward, a thing of the spirit. The nation's schools should revamp their curricula to educate a man to see himself as himself..." When he concluded his remarks, he received another ovation. Dean Henry L. Kamphoefner of the School of Design was the moderator during an open forum discussion following the address. Wright is speaking at the podium. Dean Henry L. Kamphoefner is seated behind him on the left, Hendrik Th. Wijdeveld is most likely seated on the right. 10 x 6.5 B&W photograph.

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.

Original 8 x 10 B&W photograph. 0831.27.0612 Circa 1950 David & Gladys Wright House Site Circa 1950 (1950 - S.322). Frank Lloyd Wright visits the site of David & Gladys Wright's house, Phoenix, Arizona. In 1950, David Wright, Frank Lloyd Wright's fourth child, asked his father to design a home for he and his wife on a lot they owned in Phoenix. Wright called the design "How to live in the Southwest", which was published in the June 1953, "House & Home." The lot was located in the middle of a citric grove, so Wright designed the living space to float above the tree line. David owned a company that manufactured and distributed concrete block. The decorative blocks were designed specifically for this home. Others were standard blocks manufactured by his company. At some point during the beginning of 1950, Wright must have visited the site. After studying the view from the site, we were able to confirm that the view of the Camelback Mountains in the background, matches the view from the site. Note: This photographs was published on the cover of The Frank Lloyd Wright Quarterly, Spring, 1997, and is dated February 5, 1952. But, if this is the site of David Wright's home, as we suspect, it appears to be a vacant lot, void of construction, which would date this photograph 1950. The car Wright is leaning against is a 1948 Buick Eight Roadmaster. Original 10 x 8 B&W photograph. 0831.87.0320 Circa 1950-1955 David & Gladys Wright House, set of 31 historic photographs. David & Gladys Wright House 1950-1955. Frank Lloyd Wright designed this home for his fourth child David, in March, 1950. Wright called the design "How to live in the Southwest", and was published in the June 1953, "House & Home." The lot was located in the middle of a citric grove, so Wright designed the living space to float above the tree line. David owned a company that manufactured and distributed concrete block. The decorative blocks were designed specifically for this home. Others were standard blocks manufactured by his company. Courtesy of the David & Gladys Wright family. As originally designed by Wright, when visitors approach the home from the drive, they walk under the main level, across the garden court, past the pool, under the master bedroom which cantilevers over the ramp, to the base of the ramp. To the left is the massive circular column...  Continue... 0831.37.0614 1-31 1951 1951 Gabrielle and Charlcy V. Austin Residence Drawing Negatives, 1951-1954 (1951 - S.345). Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1951, it was completed in 1954 on a two-acre sloping lot. Walls were constructed of Dessert Rubblestone and concrete in the manner of Taliesin West. The walls slope in as they rise. Forms were constructed, filled with rock, and concrete was then poured into the forms. Like many of Wright's Usonian homes, floors were concrete embedded with pipe for the radiant heating system, and tinted Cherokee red. Cypress was used on the walls and ceilings as was most of the furniture. The Living Room included built-in seating as well as a massive fireplace. The Workspace (kitchen) ceiling is 18' high, capped with a skylight. Although Wright specified cedar shingles, asphalt shingles where used, most likely due to cost. One of only two homes in South Carolina, the other is Auldbrass. Wright named the home "Broad Margin." Set of twelve B&W negatives of the Austin blueprints. 35mm B&W negative and 10 x 8 B&W photograph. 0857.33.0518 (1-12) 1951 Butterfly Wing Bridge 1951 (Project: 1947/1949/1951). Frank Lloyd Wright designed the Butterfly Wing Bridge (project) in 1947 for Spring Green, Wisconsin, for the Wisconsin Highway commission (FLLW Foundation #4723). The project was rejected. In 1949, Wright expanded on his Butterfly Wing Bridge (project) for Southern Bay, Second Crossing, San Francisco, California (FLLW Foundation #47921). Neither projects were completed. Wright proposed his bridge project a third time, although plans were never completed. Robert C. Twombly wrote: "...Four years later in 1951, Wright renewed his offered to build a butterfly bridge, this time free of charge at the state's most famous tourist spot, the Wisconsin Dells. Claiming that no one this side of Switzerland designed decent bridges but that his would preserve the area's beauty as well as be a work of art, he wanted to locate the span at scenic Echo Point, thereby provoking a confrontation with businessman looking for a feeder into the town of Wisconsin Dells, half a mile away."

After Huntington Hartford abandoned the resort Frank Lloyd Wright designed for the 160 acres Hartford owned in the Hollywood Hills, he turned his attention to utilizing the property for an arts community. According to the UCLA Library, Special Collection, which houses all the documents related to the Foundation, in December 1948, Huntington Hartford established the Huntington Hartford Foundation; its purpose was to foster community creativity in the arts through fellowships which provided subsistence, living quarters and partial supplies at the Foundation's location in Rustic Canyon, Pacific Palisades, California. Applicants for fellowships were screened by three admissions committees (literary, music and art). He hired Lloyd Wright, Frank Lloyd Wright's son, to designed a studio apartment building for the property. Huntington ended the Foundation in September 1965. Published in the February 4, 1952 issue of Life Magazine. 9 x 7 B&W photograph. (See our Wright Study on the Huntington Hartford Resort Project.) 0857.26.0561 1951 Dr. Allison W. Harlan House, Chicago, Illinois, 1951 (1892 - S.018). View of the Harlan House from the Northeast. Designed in 1892 while Frank Lloyd Wright still worked for Louis Sullivan, it is considered one of Wright's "bootlegged" houses. What used to stand with open space on either side is now crowded by apartment buildings. This view shows the major change to the original cantilevered balcony. It appears more as a decorative element than a balcony. The Sullivanesque panels that covered the face and sides of the balcony was either discarded or added under the new balcony. The bracing added under the revised balcony is visible. The entrance is reached on the left side. Five sets of floor to ceiling doors (and or windows) in the Living Room open to an enclosed Terrace.

Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1938. This is considered by many to be Wright's fourth Usonian House. The first being Jacobs I (1936 - S#234). The second, the Hanna House (1936 - S#235). The third, the Ben Rebhuhn House (1937 - S#240), a design reworked to conform to Usonian principles. Rebhuhn was Wright's publisher at Horizon Press. Fourth, the Charles L. Manson House (1938). Where as the Jacobs I and somewhat the Hanna are L-shaped Usonians, and the Rebhuhn a cruciform, the Manson is generally in-line. Wright eliminated most 90 degree corners, utilizing 30- and 60-degree angles enabling the feel of the house to flow from one end to the other. Constructed of brick and cypress, the house is built on a sloping lot. One of Manson's hobbies was photography, hence Wright added a darkroom to the design on the second level.

The built-in and freestanding wood furniture was built on site. Tables, desks, shelves and built-in furniture for both the apartments and offices were trimmed on the edges with anodized aluminum tubes finished in gold. The tubes in the apartments were trimmed in the center of the edges. While the office shelves were trimmed on the center edges...

Frank Lloyd Wright and David Henken review the Roland Reisley (center background) plans. David Henken was the driving force behind the Usonian Homes Cooperative. A Taliesin apprentice between 1942 and 1943, he formed the Rochdale Cooperative in 1944. It became Usonia Homes in 1945. It later became know as Usonia II, to distinguish between the first attempt at creating a Usonian Community in 1939, which eventually fell through. The only home completed was the Goetsch-Winkler Residence (1939 - S.269) in Okemos, Michigan. Usonian Homes - A Cooperative, purchased 97 acres in 1947. The Plan laid out fifty-five one-acre circular lots. The plan also included a Community House, eight Guest Cabins, Swimming Pool, and School on the North end. The South end included a Farm Unit. Three Wright designed homes were built: Sol Friedman (1948 - S.316); Edward Serlin (1949 - S. 317); Roland Reisley (1951 - S.318). Forty were built by Wright apprentices including David Henken.

The George Blossom Residence is next to the McArthur Residence and three doors from the Harding Residence, all three clients of Frank Lloyd Wright. The Blossom house is Colonial Revival in design. In some respects, it blended into the neighborhood, unlike his prairie styled homes which stood out and attracted attention, as they do still today. This was intentional by Wright. He wrote: "Other debts pressing toward the end of the five-year term, I accepted several houses on my own account, one for Dr. Harlan, one for Warren McArthur and one for George Blossom, and did not try anything radical, because I could not follow them up.

Detail view of the Southwest corner of the house. The front (West) elevation is on the left, the South elevation is on the right. The large Living Room runs the full length of the front of this four bedroom house. In 1899, Edwin Cheney, an electrical engineer, married Mamah Borthwick Cheney. They had two children: John (1902) and Martha (1905). Edwin commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to design a home for them in 1903. In 1909, Mamah and Frank left their respective spouses and traveled to Europe, settling in Italy for about a year. Upon their return, they settled at Taliesin in Spring Green, Wisconsin. On August 15, 1914, one of Wright's recently hired domestic workers murdered Mamah, both her children, three of Wright's associates, and a son of one of the associates. He set fire to one wing of Taliesin, and murdered the seven people with an ax as they tried to escape the fire. The Cheney House is about six blocks from Wright's Home and Studio.

Originally designed in 1942 as a student center, it was redesigned in 1950 as the Ordway Industrial Arts Building. Wright visited the campus on October 24, 1951 and inspected the 30,000 square foot building. It was dedicated in March 1952 and called the Horsey Building, after J. William Horsey, a Canadian businessman, an early supporter of the building. It was rededicated in 1956 as the Lucius Pond Ordway Building.

View of the Heller Residence from the Northeast. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1896. Like the Winslow home, the Heller residence was an important step in Wright's development of a true Prairie Style. Like the Winslow, Roloson and Francis Apartments, distinct Sullivanesque elements remained, a merging of the old and new. Wright wrote of this in An Autobiography, "...saw the making of the Winslow plans... The Husser and Heller home, the Lexington Terraces, the Wolff Lake Resort. A number of other buildings all characterized to a certain extent by the Sullivanian idiom, at least in detail. I couldn't invent the terms of my own overnight. At that time there was nothing in sight that might be helpful. I had no Sullivanian models, even for any of these things." 1932, page 127. Stamped on verso: "Photo Wayne Andrews."

Frank Lloyd Wright designed the Martin Residence in 1902. William Everett Martin moved to Chicago in 1882 and formed Martin & Barton with his brother-in-law George F. Barton (1903 - S.103) which manufactured stove polish. He eventually established a partnership with his brother Darwin D. and formed the Martin & Martin, Inc. They manufactured polish under the brand E-Z Polish (1905 - S.114) for both stoves and shoes. Constructed of stucco and wood trim, it is a beautiful example of Wright's Prairie styled houses. Although three stories, it has many horizontal elements. Broad overhanging eves and dominate horizontal lines that incorporate the windows. William Martin would commission Wright again in 1909 to design a Pergola for his home. Stamped on verso: "Photo Wayne Andrews." Label pasted to verso: "The University Gallery.

Also included are photographs of photos on display at the exhibition: Fallingwater (3), Anne Pfeiffer Chapel (1), Taliesin West (1); and two photographs of unidentified non-Wright buildings. Also one photograph of three males. Found in a dresser sold at an estate sale at a suburb North of New York City. Numbers correspond with the Catalog numbers from the exhibition catalog, "Sixty Yeats of Living Architecture" (New York). A Preview of the exhibition was held in Philadelphia (January 1951). The world wide tour opened in Palazzo Strozzi Florence, Italy (June 1951) and ended in Chicago, October 1956.   1953  1) #47: St. Mark's Tower Model, New York City, 1929. During the summer of 1935 Wright and his apprentices constructed a 12 foot square model of Broadacre City, including the large model of St. Marks Tower (1929 project), consisting of two-story apartments, built of copper, glass and concrete, constructed with a central core and cantilevered floor slabs. This model was exhibited in 1940, at the MOMA exhibited "Frank Lloyd Wright, American Architect". Photograph of model is published in "Frank Lloyd Wright / Sixty Years of Living Architecture" (Zurich), 1952, page 24, "Frank Lloyd Wright: 60 Jabre Architektur" (Germany) 1952, page 33, and "The Future of Architecture" Wright, 1953, page 271. This later became the Price Tower (1952 - S.355). 3.25 x 4.5 sepia tone photograph, faded and out of focus. 0987.49.0813 1953  2) #53: Willey House Model (1), Project for the Willey House, Minneapolis, Miss, 1932. Malcolm Willey House, Scheme 1 (project 1932). Although not called a Usonian design in 1932, it could be called an early forerunner to the design. The description in the 1953 "Sixty Yeats" (New York) catalog is "Model for a "Usonian" house." Scheme 1 was two stories. The Malcolm Willey House (1933 - S.229), Scheme 2, built in 1933, was one story and built three years before the Jacobs Residence (1936 - S.234) which many call Wright's first Usonian House. Faded 4.5 x3.25 sepia tone photograph. 0987.50.0813 1953  3) #53: Willey House Model (2), Project for the Willey House, Minneapolis, Miss, 1932. Malcolm Willey House, Scheme 1 (project 1932). Although not called a Usonian design in 1932, it could be called an early forerunner to the design. The description in the 1953 "Sixty Yeats" (New York) catalog is "Model for a "Usonian" house." Scheme 1 was two stories. The Malcolm Willey House (1933 - S.229), Scheme 2, built in 1933, was one story and built three years before the Jacobs Residence (1936 - S.234) which many call Wright's first Usonian House. Faded 4.5 x3.25 sepia tone photograph. 0987.51.0813 1953  4) #59: "Wingspread" Model, Herbert F. Johnson Residence (1937 - S.239). During construction of the SC Johnson & Son Administration Building (1936 - S.237), H.F. Johnson commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to design his expansive home in Wind Point, Wisconsin. This model of Wingspread was constructed during the summer of 1940, by the Taliesin apprentices for the exhibition "Frank Lloyd Wright: American Architect" held at The Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), November 12, 1940 - January 5, 1941. See "The Show to End all Shows", 2004. The 1940 caption: "The latest and largest of the "Prairie Houses"." Large color photograph of model published in "Frank Lloyd Wright / Sixty Years of Living Architecture" (Zurich), 1952, page 81-82. Faded 4.5 x3.25 sepia tone photograph (notice little boy in the background looking at model). 0987.52.0813 1953  5) #81: Ralph Jester House Model, Project, Palos Verdes, CA. Designed in 1938. Jester graduated from Yale in 1924. He moved to Paris for five years to study sculpting, and met Wright's sister Maginel at an American Embassy Fourth of July party. After moving back to New York, he met Wright will they were both visiting Maginel. His first involvement with Hollywood was as a sculpture for the movie Cleopatra (1934). He was probably best known for his costume designs for such movies as The Ten Commandments (1956) and The Buccaneer (1958). Wright designed the home in 1938, but construction costs forced Jester to forgo building the home. The design was revived for Gerald Loeb "Hilltop House" (project) in 1946. Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer later constructed the home next to Taliesin West in 1971. This model was exhibited in 1943 at the exhibition "Masters of Four Arts", Fogg Museum of Art, and named the "Pacific House". This model appeared in the background of the 1940 photograph of Wright with the Wingspread model at Taliesin in 1940 (Show to End all Shows, page 39), and is photographed at the show (page 52), but does not appear on the list of models displayed at the 1940 show at MOMA, or the Catalogue of the Exhibition in November (pages 215-228). Faded 4.5 x3.25 sepia tone photograph. 0987.53.0813 1953  6) #83: George Affleck Residence Model (1940 - S.274), Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Gregor Affleck, a chemical engineer, was born in Chicago and spend his younger years near Spring Green, Wisconsin. Elizabeth Affleck was fond of Fallingwater. The site they selected for their home was sloped, and traversed by a small stream that lead to a pond. Wright designed the raised Usonian home for the property. The living area cantilevers dramatically over the stream bed. This model was exhibited in 1940, at the MOMA exhibited "Frank Lloyd Wright, American Architect". Photograph of model is published in "Frank Lloyd Wright / Sixty Years of Living Architecture" (Zurich), 1952, page 60. Faded 4.5 x3.25 sepia tone photograph. 0987.54.0813 1953  7) #106: New Theater Model for Hartford, Conn., Project, 1949. The design for this theater was first conceived for the New Theatre for Woodstock, New York (1931 Project). In 1938 Wright designed the Pfeiffer Chapel (S.251) at the Florida Southern College and utilized the original Woodstock floor plan. In 1949 the New Theater was revived again in Hartford, Connecticut. The model was first shown at a special exhibition at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum from January 26 - February 27, 1949. Photograph of model is published in "Frank Lloyd Wright / Sixty Years of Living Architecture" (Zurich), 1952, page 72. The concept for the "New Theatre for Woodstock" was finally executed in Dallas and the Dallas Theater Center opened with registration and classes on September 9, 1959 and its first production on December 27, 1959. Faded 4.5 x3.25 sepia tone photograph. 0987.55.0813 1953  8) Photograph of three males, possibly Wright apprentices, but unable to verify at this time.

"Ben Raeburn of Horizon Press, the publisher of Mr. Wright's forthcoming book The Future of Architecture, alerted me in 1953 to be prepared to photograph Mr. Wright in New York. During a television interview with Hugh Downs on the Today Show some months earlier he had demonstrated with his hands the differences between organic and conventional architecture. Raeburn wanted to use the series to accompany the complete text of Mr. Wright's conversation in the book. There was no videotape then to capture the event, so Raeburn needed reenactments of each technique as illustrations.

In 1926, Aline Barnsall donated Hollyhock House to the City of Los Angeles, with a lease going to the California Art Club. By 1942, the city had condemned the house and ordered it to be vacated, due to structural damage. The home was left in shambles. A minor restoration project was undertaken in 1945. In 1954 Frank Lloyd Wright designed a Master Plan for Barnsdall Park which included a museum which remained a unbuilt. (Monograph 8, p.146-7). Also in 1954, Barnsdall Park was the one of the stops for Wright's traveling exhibition "Sixty Years of Living Architecture." The premiere of the exhibit in Los Angeles was held at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Center at Barnsdall Park on June 1, 1954. A temporary pavilion, similar to the pavilion in New York, was attached to the line of kennels that reached from the house to the garage. The entrance to the pavilion was through the Hollyhock House.

Diagram of the concrete block construction for the Usonian Automatic House. Illustration published in The Natural House, Wright, 1954, p.201. In 1921 Frank Lloyd Wright prepared a "Study for Block House in Textile Block Construction," Frank Lloyd Wright Monograph 1914 - 1923., Pfeiffer, 1990, p.204-205. According to Sweeney, Wright attempted to obtain a patent for the system in 1921, Wright in Hollywood, 1994, p.43-44. In 1923, Frank Lloyd Wright designed four textile block homes in Los Angeles. 1) Millard (La Miniatura) (1923 - S.214); 2) Storer (1923 - S.215); 3) Freeman (1923 - S.216); 4) Ennis (1923 - S.217). Circa 1934, Wright designed a Usonian Concrete Block House for Broadacre City. In 1936, Wright developed a series of homes he called Usonian. They were designed to control costs. Wright's Usonian houses had no attics, no basements, and little ornamentation. He continued to develop the concept, and in the early 1950s he first used the term Usonian Automatic to describe a Usonian style house made of inexpensive concrete blocks. The modular blocks could be assembled in a variety of ways. Wright hoped that home buyers could save money by building their own Usonian Automatic houses...

He completely changed the Theatre that was destroyed, retaining the masonry walls, but lowering the height of the roof. He lowered the center section, lowering to a single story. He also extended the lower level of the assembly hall to the south (seen to the left in this photograph. Judging from the landscape, this photograph appears to have been taken around 1954.

Haskell Culwell (standing) is pointing out problems on the blueprints that arose during construction. Frank Lloyd Wright is listening, his hand over his chin, deep in thought. Text accompanying five photographs: "Latest Stopper. An 18 story office and apartment building which will cost more per square foot than probably any other such structure ever built is the latest Wright design causing comment. The "skyscraper," now going up in Bartlesville Okla., for the H. C. Price Co., a pipeline construction firm, is expected to bring so much publicity that it will turn out to be a cheap investment. Basically, the tower is built around four separate, hollow concrete fins set together like a pinwheel. Wright is shown in discussion with Haskell Culwell (standing), the Oklahoma City contractor, and Howard Price, Jr., son of the pipe firms head, as they talk over some problems which arose in the construction. Wright listens to the problems in his office, make some tentative suggestions and hears others, then settles back happily. The building supposedly is a design Wright has had in mind and worked over for 20 years." Hand written on verso: "Frank L. Wright - Roto 54 - 3/14."

Frank Lloyd Wright resting his arm on a piece of Heritage-Henredon dining room furniture. A cane is hanging on his left arm, a hat in his hand. His reflection is in a Heritage-Henredon mirror. Caption pasted to the verso: "Some people think it's "Western," but that's because of its natural matte finish on mahogany and carving at the edges. The carving is based on the Greek key design and that's hardly "Western." Some critics think it harkens back to the dark age of furniture design, specifically, the first 25 years of this century. Again, that's because some of the lines are so strong and so perfect in scale that they seem to some to be in poor taste. We're not used to seeing velvet upholstery on modern furniture and Wright has used it on some occasional chairs. It reminds many people of the poorly designed velvet chair grandmother kept in her parlor, the one nobody dared use." Stamped on clipping: "Oct 18 1955."

Memorial Union for a tribute. Wright took the opportunity to display the new Monona Terrace model. At the end of the program, he received a check for $10.000.  Set of eight 8x10 B&W photographs. Possibly shot by a Capital Times Staff Photographer.  Frank Lloyd Wright's Monona Terrace, page 140.   1955 Monona Terrace Testimonial Banquet.  February 10, 1955.  Head table.  Possibly shot by a Capital Times Staff Photographer.  Seated at the head table (L to R) Wisconsin Governor Walter Kohler, Oligivanna Wright, Wright, William Evjue (friend, editor and published of the Capital Times), Ralph Walker (former president of the AIA) and Wright's Daughter.  Published in "Frank Lloyd Wright's Monona Terrace"�, page 140.  Original silver gelatin photo.  8x10. 1092.04.0606 1955 Monona Terrace Testimonial Banquet.  February 10, 1955.  Close-up of head table.

This is a copy of the photograph published in the "Schumacher's Taliesin Line of Decorative Fabrics and Wallpaper," Schumacher/Wright, 1955, as an example of "Design No. 705" fabric and wallpaper. A similar design was used in 2001 at the Nakoma Clubhouse, Cleo, CA. The furniture was produced by Heritage-Henredon, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The buffet cabinet in the background is a combination of three small chests, No. 2002 (L), 2003 and 2001 (R). The table appears to be possibly a prototype of the dining room tables to come. The legs are correct, with the bullnose outer edge and carved patterned design. The round table top has the bullnose edge, but no design. To date, we have seen rectangular table tops as well as other furniture with the decorative design, but the round table tops, No. 2000 and 2001, are trimmed with copper moulding. The chairs do not appear to be designed by Wright, and were possibly used due to the lack of samples at the time. There is a note in House Beautiful, November, 1955, p.282 which might shed some light in explaining the discrepancies.

Pencil and pastel on brown tissue, 36 x 60 inches." In a recent e-mail from Scott Elliott, "Mrs. Sarkesian, the wife of the original client, confirmed that it (the drawing) was done in 1955. It's sometimes hard to tell who the actual draughtsman was by the mid 50s. Could be Peterson or Howe. Sometimes Wright just added trees, foliage and other atmospherics. Of course, he would have considered it entirely his, and rightly so. I happen to think this one could be all or mostly by his hand." From 2006: According to Scott Elliott: "(He) believes the Snowflake Motel in Lincoln Township was designed by famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright, contrary to what most people think. Many people believe the building was designed around 1960 by William Wesley Peters of Taliesin Associates. Peters was Wright's son-in-law and a draftsman for Wright.

In 1890 Wright designed the Bungalow (S.005), Stable and Servant's Quarters (S.006). In 1955, Richard Nickel made a trip in search of Sullivan architecture. Part of that trip included Ocean Springs. Arriving exhausted from his extensive trip, he took only a few photographs and left for home. "The Sullivan and Charley cottages have been painted over and the stables have been demolished and all that remains of Sullivan's proud rose garden is an elliptical scar of dead shoots," Nickels wrote. "The tall pines and the exotic plants, once controlled, now grow wild but the care once rendered this place is easily sensed." "They All Fall Down," Cahan, 1994, p.72. That same year, 1890, Wright designed a Bungalow (S.007), Guesthouse and Stable Cottage (S.008) for James Charnley. One year later Wright designed the Charnley Residence (1891 - S.009) in Chicago. 10 x 8 B&W photograph. 1092.73.0714 1955 1) Gerald Sussman Residence, Scheme I, Poundridge, New York, Perspective 1955 (FLLW #5524.01) (Project 1955).

Perspective view of the Fredrick Residence. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1954/6. Wright's first design for the Fredricks was a Usonian Automatic. Constructed of inexpensive concrete blocks. Wright presented the drawings of the Usonian Automatic to the Fredricks in 1954. The plans were modified and the revised floor plan was dated November 28, 1954. Even with the revisions, they remained unimpressed with the concept of concrete blocks. According to the National Registry of Historic Places, p.7, Wright presented plans for a second design, but these also were rejected. This third design is dated August 20, 1956, and is a house of brick construction with a pitched roof. This design was a modification of a house designed in 1955 for George Dlesk, Mainstee, Michigan, Scheme 1, FLLW#5519.001. Wright resurrected Dlesk Scheme 1, dating the drawings August 26, 1956, and Fredrick accepted this design with modifications. The house was completed in 1957 at a construction cost of nearly $100,000. Text center left: "View from Southeast." Text hand written lower left: "A Nice Little house. FLLW."

Prefab #3 was never built. Marshall Erdman and Frank Lloyd Wright first discussed the idea of working together on a prefabricated design in 1954. It wouldn't be until the end of 1955 that Wright would deliver his first design. The house is a one-story house, with the addition of a lower level when on a hillside. It included a large living room, dining room, family room and kitchen, three or four bedrooms and two bath. The fourth being a mirror of the center bedroom. Note: Post house enclosed garage. Nine homes were completed: Van Tamelen (1956 - S.406); Jackson (1957 - S.407.1); Duncan (1957 - S.407.2); Iber (1957 - S.408); Post (1957 - S.409.1); Cass (1959 - S.409.2); Zaferiou (1961 - S.410); Molloca (1958 - S.411.1); LaFond (1960 - S.411.2).

Millwork details for the Dudley Spencer Residence, Sheet No. 7. FLLW Foundation #5635.12. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1956. The first design, Scheme #1, an L-shaped Usonian house with a living room roof that slopes upward, was rejected by the Spencers. Scheme #2 was accepted. Scheme #2 is what Frank Lloyd Wright called a solar Hemicycle. Very similar to the Laurent (1949) and Pearce (1950) Residences. The Spencers moved into their home in 1959. On Sheet 6 of the plans, Frank Lloyd Wright specified mahogany be used in all the cabinetry. Honduras mahogany was used throughout. On Sheet #7, Wright details the design for the fascia, indents every 4". The visible height calculates to 3". This design was used throughout the house in the trim, lighting, picture frames and trimming out all the built-in and stand alone furniture. “To make the furniture, Spencer hired Robert Baker, who built models at DuPonts craft shop. Baker built the streamlined dining table and six low, open-backed chairs in his basement workshop... The furniture is trim, with clean lines reminiscent of a yacht.

Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1956. Not much has been written concerning Mr. & Mrs. Gerald Sussman. But they are synonymous with the traveling exhibition In The Realm of Ideas, that toured eight cities from 1988-1991. It included a full-scale model house of the Sussman Residence Scheme I. What seems to have been lost was a second design for the Sussmans, Scheme II. Scheme II appears to be overlooked in published books about Wright work. It w as also overlooked in Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer’s exhaustive three volume set, Frank Lloyd Wright, Complete Works., 2009, 2010, 2011. The key might be these twelve original drawings that surfaces and sold on April 16, 2018 at the Heritage Auction, Dallas Texas, and the original blueprints in our collection, both originally in private collections.        We can only surmise as to why the Sussmans rejected the first design by Wright, a Usonian Automatic. Were they not pleased with the Usonian Automatic concept? They must have communicated that they were still interested. Wright proceeded with a second design for the Sussmans, Scheme II. The plans for the Scheme II are dated February 1, 1956. Two weeks later, Eugene wrote to the Sussmans from Taliesin West. “Dear Mr. And Mrs. Sussman: By now you have received your plans and we hope you are pleased. Sincerely, Eugene Masselink, Secretary to Frank Lloyd Wright. February 15th, 1956.”        Lower text: “House for Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Sussman. Poundridge, Westchester County, New York.

In October, the board selected Frank Lloyd Wright to design their school. Wright immediately set out to design the school and on November 28, received a letter from the Board that "the building committee accepted the plans with enthusiasm" along with a few revision. The initial plans submitted to the Board was a resurrection of the unrealized Oak Park Kindersymphonies design, with a few modifications. In June, 1958, Wright published The Living City, an update to his Broadacre plan, and included this drawing of the Wyoming Valley School and a floor plan, with the caption, "Small School" and "Small School, Plan."

The school board members approach Mr. Wright about designing a school building to serve the students of the Spring Green area. This two room school also included an assembly room that doubled as a cafeteria. It was built to Wright's design without any alterations. When he was told they couldn't afford his fee, he donated his time. When he was told they couldn't afford the building, he made a donation in his Mother's name.

After the school district voted to consolidate a number of one-room school houses in January 1956, a referendum was past in April. In October, the board selected Frank Lloyd Wright to design their school. Wright immediately set out to design the school and on November 28, received a letter from the Board that "the building committee accepted the plans with enthusiasm" along with a few revision. The first plans submitted to the Board was a resurrection of the unrealized Oak Park Kindersymphonies design, with a few modifications. Wright included some of the same design elements of the original, like the large circular vases, noting "bowl and spheres cast in red concrete for flowers and lights. One addition was a large round table surrounded by chair in the Kindergarten room, which he noted as "The Round Table." As changes were requested, a need to enlarge the building and at the same time cut costs, many of the original "fanciful" details were deleted. Wright did specify the light fixtures, "white balls." Not only did Wright donate his fee, he donated $7,000 toward the memory of his mother, helping to lower the cost of construction and for $750 he purchased an adjoining 2 acres, bringing the site to just over five acres.

One of the preliminary designs for the clerestory windows. Designed by Eugene Masselink, they remained unrealized. " Wright's early drawings showed rough outlines of stained glass in the "lunettes" that ringed the upper level of the church. At the architect's request, Eugene Masselink completed preliminary designs for the windows even before he started work on the icons. Using primary colors, Masselink painted ingenious abstractions of religious figures that flowed into and out of the cross-in-circle motif so prevalent in the church as a whole... The stained glass windows were deferred in 1959, before the Building Committee had a chance to accept or reject Masselink's designs. In their place the contractor installed single panes of uninsulated clear glass. The "temporary" windows stayed in place for seventeen years, and the inevitable condensation caused considerable damage to the upper-level plasterwork.-� New World Odyssey, Gurda, 1986, p.117.

Mr. Wright studied the grassy area in momentary silence, noting its circular frontage bounded by a busy highway, and then declared: "I believe this is the site.

Along New York's Fifth Avenue, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum comes in for considerable discussion. There seems to be no middle ground - people either like it or hate it. That's not unusual considering it is the architectural creation of Frank Lloyd Wright, whose works have generally been attended by controversy. The museum has been called everything from a work of beauty to a "concrete toilet bowl." Wright calls it an "archeseum," which he says means "a building in which to see the highest."

The project is numbered 5814, 1958, project number 14, one of 31 projects Wright accepted in 1958. It appears that the presentation drawings, perspective and plot plan were dated by Wright in 1959. It is apparent that the project was accepted and moved ahead because the final plans were finished by William Wesley Peters and Aaron Green and dated February 18, 1960. 10.5 x 6 Color Photograph. 1377.87.1117 1959 Plot Plan for Clinic For Dr. Jarvis H. Luechauer 1959. The design for the clinic, utilizing a four foot grid, is rectangular in shape except for the waiting room which is a semi-circular. Up two flights of stairs, there is an East and West entrance to the waiting room. In the waiting room a horizontal window rests on top of a 2 1/2 wall. The waiting room has built-in seating along the exterior curved semi-circular wall, and a fireplace on the opposite side of the room. There's a built-in semi-circular planter at the front that follows the curve of the windows. Along the back of the building a built-in planter runs the length, with a small semi-circle built into the center of the planter wall. On the south side of the parking lot, on the property line, there are two stone walls with an opening in the center that forms a partial circle. On the north side of the building perpendicular to the built-in planter is an 87 foot long pool. It is 8 feet wide, and has four jets spaced 17 feet apart. On either side of the pool Wright penciled in future buildings using the same design as the first. Medical offices are on the west side of the building dental are on the right. 10.5 x 6 Color Photograph. 1377.88.1117 C 1959 Charles L. Manson House, Wausau, Wisconsin, Circa 1959 (1938 - S.249).
