Tour of Taliesin III, Frank Lloyd Wright's Personal
Residence at the Taliesin, Spring Green Complex. On a trip
from Chicago to Seattle with my son-in-law, we stopped to
tour Taliesin. The Taliesin Complex cover 600 acres. Wright
built Taliesin I in 1911 and it continually evolved until
his death in 1959. After a fire destroyed the residential
wing in 1914, he rebuilt, Taliesin II. After fire struck
again in 1925, he built again, Taliesin III.
Taliesin is a treasure trove, a gem, a Petri dish of Wright
ideas, a museum. Details is what we attempted to record.
Details that are easy to overlook in the expansive picture
of Taliesin. Hidden in plain view, tucked
in the back of a shelf is an original 1894 weed holder.
There are examples of the many chairs he designed.
Chinese artwork. Japanese prints.
Flowers in the Crannied Wall, Priceless artifacts. Minic
prototype accessories. Nakoma and Nakomis. Dana wall
sconce. Heath art glass... To many to take in in just a few
short hours.
The tour began at the
Visitor’s Center at the
Riverside Terrace
Restaurant. From there, we started on the grassy knoll
between Wright’s private residence and the Hill Apartments.
A single tour barely scratches the surface, leaving you
parched for more. Set of 174 high res 20 X 13.5 digital
images. Taliesin III, Spring Green. |

Description:
5) Off of
County Road C, near the old Taliesin Dam, this entrance gate was
constructed by local stone masons
1911-1912. Wright wrote,
"Country masons laid all the stone with the quarry for a pattern
and the architect for teacher. They learned to lay the walls in
the long, thin, flat ledges natural to it, natural edges out. As
often as they laid a stone they would stand back to judge the
effect. They were soon as interested as sculptures fashioning a
statue..." "An Autobiography" Wright, 1932, p.174. Photographed

Description: 56) Frank Lloyd
Wright’s Studio. Louis Sullivan designed plaster frieze fragment
from the Garrick Theater in Chicago, Illinois. In 1888 Frank
Lloyd Wright took a job as a draftsman for Adler and Sullivan.
By 1890, Wright had an office next to Sullivan and was head
draftsman. Originally called the Schiller Theater Building, it
opened in 1891. It would make sense that Wright would have this
fragment in his office, seeing that he was Louis Sullivan’s
right hand man. In 1893 Wright set up his own practice. Despite
efforts to save the theater it was eventually demolished in
1960. Photographed June 10, 2016.

Description:
60) Frank Lloyd
Wright’s Studio. Wright designed vase or weed holder. In 1955,
Frank Lloyd Wright developed the "Taliesin Ensemble", a line of
furnishings for those that did not live in one of his homes.
Partnerships were formed with five companies: 1)
Heritage-Henredon, a line of furniture designed by Wright. 2)
Karastan, Rugs. 3) The Martin-Senour Company, the Taliesin
Palette, 36 personally selected paint colors. 4) Minic,
Accessories. 5) F. Schumacher & Co., Fabrics & Wallpaper
designed by Wright. Minic produced a number of prototype
accessories, this vase or weed holder as-well-as a number of
other prototypes found at Taliesin. We have been able to verify:
1) this vase; 2) A tall
square vase; 3)
Double-square vase with the Heritage-Henredon pattern on the
base; 4) A short rectangular shaped plant holder. Minic
Manufacturing was asked to produce the accessories as-well-as a
line of furniture. When they declines to produce the furniture,
Heritage-Henredon was approached and produced the line of
furniture. The line of accessories was never put into
production. Photographed June 10, 2016.

Frank Lloyd Wright designed the Music Stand in the mid-1940s for
Taliesin. According to the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation
Archives, this is one of six quartet stands that are
Wright-designed that are known to exist. There are two at
Taliesin, one is 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 Tennessee. Also pictured are two different
chairs around the Music Stand. Photographed June 10, 2016.

The first may have been the chairs designed to go with the Music
Stand. They appeared in images as
early as 1954
(1045.42.1116-7). They are somewhat reminiscent of the chairs
designed for the Florida South College Annie Pfeiffer Chapel.

screen is painted. The closet doors on the right are hung with
