Mrs. Thomas Gale Summer Cottages, Whitehall, Michigan, Circa
Early 1970s (1909 - S.088.1-3).
Undated local newspaper article
detailing the Mrs. Thomas Gale Summer Cottages. Frank Lloyd
Wright Designed Five (Six) Cottages at White Lake. By John A.
Chisholm. Whitehall - Few
White Lakers today are aware of the fact this area can boast
five of the earliest works of the late world famous architect,
Frank Lloyd Wright. The five, three of which retain the
Wright concept, are in the Birch Brook Subdivision on South
Shore Drive. These three have remained as summer homes. The
other two have been remodeled and altered into year-around
dwellings. Three summer
homes belong to the Arthur Potter family, Miss Ann Peterson of
Chicago, and her late sister, Helen Peterson, and Todd Lunsford,
of North Muskegon. Made
into permanent homes have been the dwellings of the Wilfred
Myrmel family and the late OF. G. R. Lundquist. The latter
recently was purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Rudy Cooper, of the
Whiethall District schools faculty. As related by Arthur Potter, whose parents, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur
C. Potter owned the former Bonne Vista summer resort nearby, the
White Lake community came by these examples of Wright's
architectural ideas through the friendship of Oak Park, Ill.,

Mrs. Thomas Gale Summer Cottage #2, Whitehall, Michigan, Circa
Early 1970s (1909 - S.088-2). View
of the back of the cottage after it was lowered onto the new
foundation. The Potters became owners of Cottage #2 in 1969, and
proceeded the restoration which included a foundation. The
kitchen was extended off the back of the house. A porch is
visible on the right. Board and batten siding is being restored.
Hand written note: "Steve prefers to keep his feet on the
ground." The front of
the cottages faced the lake, so the main entrance was at the
back of the cottage and entered into the kitchen. To the right
was a maid's room. Straight ahead was the living room with a
centrally located fireplace. To the right of the fireplace,
stairs led to the second level. From the living room doors
opened to a porch. Upstairs were four bedrooms. There was no
provision for a bathroom. Courtesy of the Potter Family.

P. D. Hoyt Residence, Geneva, Illinois, Front
Facade Circa 1970s (1906 - S.120). Not dated View of the Hoyt Residence from
the East. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1906. 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. Copy of photograph published in

the plans for the home, set them aside, but never was able to returned to
them, due to his death. Rattenbury completed the working drawings and
specifications in 1966. He designed the furniture and built-ins, adapted
from the original plans created by Wright before his death. The round Dining
Room table is on the left. A small round end table is in the center. A
hassock and coffee table is on the right. Photographed by Neil Koppes.

Lloyd Wright, widow of the famous
architect, and headquarters of the Wright Foundation. Peters, chief
architect for the organization, was formerly married to Svetlana Lloyd
Wright, daughter of the famed architect. Mrs. Peters was killed in an auto
accident in Wisconsin in 1946. Miss Alliluyeva, 44, who fled from the Iron
Curtain to the United States in 1967, met Peters at the Desert Architectural
School northeast of here last month. It was her fifth marriage. When she
came to visit Iovanna Lloyd Wright, another daughter of the Wrights, Miss
Alliluyeva said the "unique quality" of coincidence of the name Svetlana
convinced her she should accept an invitation to go from her home in
Princeton, N. J. Word of the marriage leaked out after it was learned the
couple had quietly obtained a marriage ...

Pope-Leighey House Circa 1970,
viewed from the West. There are a few details that place this photograph
close to the 1969 images, but at a later date. Damage to the fascia , about
2-3 feet from the Western corner is consistent with 1969. The screened
Terrace is missing the screen, as is evident in
1969, #6. Details that place it at a little later date: mature plants,
oil stains on the drive and the mail box. These and the cat at the entrance
would indicate that Mrs. Leighey is now living in the home. Also in the
Chadwick interview published in 1969, he says "I also feel that the screened
porch and terrace must be rebuilt." P.75. It is interesting to note that
although Wright's original plans included the design for the screen, it had
not been built when it was published in The Natural House, 1954. Courtesy of
the State of Virginia. 10 x 7 B&W photograph. For

Tenants and owners of a West Side co-operative are fighting to save their
home - a rare Frank
Lloyd Wright
apartment building - from the wrecking ball... Each of the 46 units has
its own exterior entrance facing a once handsomely landscaped interior
courtyard. There are no hallways to heat or to provide hiding places for
thugs. The typical Chicago flat in 1895 when Wright designed the building
was cramped, and often light and fresh air failed to reach many of the
units. Wright meant his building to be a prototype for better living
condition for the poor... In 1930, the building was converted into a
co-operative project... Almost half of the units are vacant, and about six
have been gutted by fires... Faced with possible court action condemning
the building, the residences sought help from Michael Brown, an attorney.. Architects estimate renovation costs would be from $11,000 to $15,000 for
each dwelling unit..." Stamped on verso: "Chicago Daily News. Dec 9, 1971."

/|\." After attending the University of Wisconsin, Madison, Frank Lloyd
Wright headed for Chicago in 1887 and accepted a position as draftsman in
the architectural firm of Joseph Lyman Silsbee. Later that year, he applied
for and secured a position in the office of Alder and Sullivan. For
additional information on Unity Chapel see "Prairie School Review,"
1970, 4th Quarter, pp.14-16. A catalog of Silsbee's work dates the Chapel October
1885. The Entrance is dated 1886. Wright would have been 19 years old. But
it has generally become known as Wright's first design. Like the Hillside
Home School I building, it was designed in the shingle style. Photographed

Romeo and Juliet Windmill 1973
(1896, 1938 - S.037). Viewed from the Southeast. Romeo and Juliet is located
just North of the Taliesin Fellowship complex, on the crest of a hill. Frank
Lloyd Wright designed the windmill tower for his aunts Jane and Nell Lloyd
Jones in 1896. "...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. The original windmill was covered in shingles, and in 1938 it was
resurfaced in board and batten siding. Photographed by Douglas M. Steiner on

Frederick C. Bogk Residence
Interior 1974 (1916 - S.196). View of the Living Room with built-in
seating/end-table/book shelf and fireplace. Frank Lloyd Wright designed the
Bogk Residence in 1916. The built-in seating/end-table/book shelf was
designed by Wright, and is consistent with other furniture designed for the
home. The edge of the book shelf and end-table is edged with inset ebony.
This design was repeated in other living and dining room furniture. The
hassocks are Wright designed, and appear throughout the house, but appear to
be a later addition and do not match the other furniture Wright designed for
the Bogk House. See "Frank Lloyd
Wright and George Mann Niedecken", 1999, p. 48-58. The hassocks are
identical to the Frank Lloyd Wright "Four
Square" Hassock designed for the Heritage Henredon Line of Fine
Furniture in 1955 but never produced. Stamped on verso: "File Nov 4 1974."

and Betty Roberts of Oak park have a painstakingly restored 11-room Frank
Lloyd Wright house for sale, and almost anyone with $99,000 can have it. But
only if the buyer promises not to make any changes. Certainly everyone
knows of Wright and of the elegant beauty f the prairie homes he designed.
Anyone can view the outside of a dozen of these homes - including this one,
the Cheney house built in 1904 - on the regularly scheduled walking tours of
Oak Park every Sunday afternoon. It's surprising then to the Robertses that
many potential buyers not only don't appreciate a Wright house but also
would want o rip out rooms, paint the natural wood trim and beams and make
other changes that would undermine the warm and comfortable character of
this classic house. The Robertses are looking for someone who would love and
live in this architectural artwork without making any changes... By Jerry De

"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. View

Rookery Building Entryway and
Lobby Remodeling (1905 - S.113) 1975. View of lobby and balcony. The Rookery
building was designed by Burnham and Root in 1888. Edward C. Waller, a
client of Wright's, managed the Rookery Building in 1905 and retained Wright
in 1905 to remodel the Entryway and Lobby. Wright's offices were located in
the building from 1898-1899. Wright removed most of Root's original iron
ornamentation and simplified it with geometric designs. He also encased much
of Root's elaborate wrought iron finishes with white carved and gilded
Carrara marble. He simplified the ironwork design, added large prairie
styled urns and designed hanging light fixtures. Label pasted to verso:

Melvyn Maxwell Smith Residence,
Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. (1946 - S.287). Exterior. Article taped to
verso: "...It has been 25 years now. A quarter of a century since Smith, an
English teacher now retired, finished building it. A quarter of a century
after Smith, a would-be architect, suggested a design change that Wright --
acknowledged as one of the great architects - accepted and praised. A
quarter of a century of utter fascination with the house and the man who
designed it. It's rare for a man to possess one great possession, said
Smith, "but my most precious possession is my home.' From the road, the
house shows little more than cypress wood, brick, and a succession of tiny
off-shaped windows. But on the other side of the house, the side a passer-by
can't see, complex geometries of glass sheets project in and out of that
brick and cyprus framework. "It seems like a natural outcropping,' said
Smith, staring at the building. "Like a rock, or a bush or a tree." Wright
believed that architecture should complement and blend with he land which
surrounds it. So when Smith shows off his house, like any good advocate of
Wright's "organic architecture,' he begins with a tour of the three acres of
grounds. "This was all a swamp meadow before we dredged it up,' he says...
No other homes are visible from the rear of the house...

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. David was born in 1895 and past away in 1997 at the age of 102.

Home and
Studio, Oak Park, 1975 (1897 - S.004). "Two Seated Males" sculpture. Added
to the exterior of the studio after 1911. When
Frank Lloyd Wright built his Studio in
1898, he had Bock design the four sided Stork Pillars that appear at the
Entrance to the studio. "The first work I did in the new studio (Rookery
Building) was the pilasters for the entrance to Wright's Oak Park studio,
Showing storks standing among foliage beside a scroll with an architectural
plan..."
Memories of An American Artist,"
Bock, 1989/1991, p.67. He also worked on the "Boulder" sculpture at the same
time. In 1911, When Wright converted his studio to Apartments, he squared
off the corners of the second level, added a cantilevered rood, and added
the sculptures just under the rood line. Two per side. The artist is
unknown, but the are very similar to the Stork sculptures. Two seated men,
arm in arm are sitting in front of the same tree form as the stork, leaves
and berries. There is a long unscrolled scroll, and two small ones. Although
not specified as a Bock, there are similarities. When the Restoration
committee made the decision in 1977 to restore the Home and Studio to 1909,
the upper story of the studio was restored to an octagon, the cantilever was
removed as well as the sculptured figures. Courtesy of the

Lloyd Wright, thou shouldn't be living at this hour. You shouldn't let them
do what they're planning to do to your Charnley House. Yes, the Charnley
House at 1365 N. Astor, that veritable emblem of modern architecture, is due
for "renovations." It is to be remodeled into Gold Coast condominium
apartments after 84 years as a family residence -- and with the approval of
Chicago's city landmarks commissioners, at that. We can imagine Wright's
outrage if he still were alive. He gave up humility at an early age, and his
angry outcries stopped the proposed razing of his most famous Chicago house,
the Robie House at 5757 S. Woodlawn. Stamped on verso: "Jun 23 76." Acquired

Annunciation Greek Orthodox
Church Stained Glass Windows, Etched Doors and Iconic Artwork 1978 (1956 -
S.399). Set of 50 photographs of the stained glass windows, etched doors and
iconic artwork of the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church. 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...
