An American Proceeding:
Building the Grant House with
Frank Lloyd Wright (Soft
Cover) (Published by
Meadowside Press, Hanover, New
Hampshire) |
Reilly, Donna Grant |
Back cover: In June 1950,
Frank Lloyd Wright paid a
surprise visit to the Grant
house, under construction near
Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This was
Wright's first visit to the
site, and he was worried about
the house because, unlike most
of Wright's clients, Doug
Grant was building it himself,
serving as his own general
contractor and doing his own
electrical work and carpentry.
He and his wife, Jackie,
quarried all of the stone for
the house from their own
quarry on the property, and
both took an active part...

particular, for the Los Angeles foothills. Its design and construction

Lloyd Wright. Integration with
nature was such a key element
of a Frank Lloyd Wright design

prescribed styles in favor of
his own organic architecture.
No matter the design, Wright's
work still fascinates. Its
