Description: 18) View of the front of the Cabaret
Theater. Frank Lloyd Wright designed the Music Stand in the

Wright-designed that are known to exist. There are two at
Taliesin, this one at Taliesin West, one is at the Dallas Public
Library, one at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library in Austin,
Texas,
and one in the Zimmerman
House which
is a variation of the "design matured with a more structurally
sound construction than its predecessors." But we have located a
seventh at the Shavin
Residence in

hexagonal backed chairs are plentiful at Taliesin. The piano sets in
