Description: "Abstract: This research discusses a long- overlooked building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The focus is on the project as a case study exemplifying Wright's design process. Although Wright's work is often described as appearing fully-conceived and then drawn in a single sitting onto the paper, the archival documents, correspondence and actual physical building of the A.D. German Warehouse tell a different story. The A.D. German Warehouse was designed ca. 1914 for Richland Center, Wisconsin, and was to be the only building Wright ever designed for the town of his birth. Built for businessman Albert Dell German of Richland Center, the warehouse is also Wright's only warehouse among his many projects..." Pages 255-263. Includes five illustrations.

A. D. GERMAN WAREHOUSE 2016
A. D. German Warehouse 2016 (1915 - S.183). Frank Lloyd Wright was born 26 miles from Taliesin, Spring Green, in Richland Center, Wisconsin, the location of the A. D. German Warehouse. Designed by Wright in 1915 as a brick and concrete building, it was capped by a pattered block on the fourth floor.
In June, 2016, on a road trip from Philadelphia to Seattle with my son-in-law, We stopped in Oak Park to tour Wright's Home and Studio. We took an hour to photograph the outside, and unable to obtain tickets to tour the inside, we called Taliesin and reserved tickets to tour Wright's personal residence. We headed to Taliesin, Spring Green, arriving with 10 minutes to spare before the tour began. My excitement mounted. It had been 43 years since I had last visited Taliesin. After spending a few hours, immersing ourselves in every detail, overwhelmed at Wright's genius, we hit the road. Low and behold we found ourselves in Richland Center, Wright's birthplace.
Albert Delvino German was a successful commodity wholesaler. While married to his first wife Grace, Albert purchased the Mitchell Hotel, located on the corner of Haseltine and Church Street. He renamed it the Hotel Badger. After his first wife died in 1909, he remarried in 1912 and also built his first warehouse, adjacent to the hotel on Haseltine Street. It still exists today, just west of the Wright Warehouse. His business was very successful and he opened up two additional warehouses in Platteville and Prairie du Chien. In 1915, Wright designed a four story warehouse to store wholesale goods, a small tea house restaurant, specialized retail shops, a wholesale outlet store, a gallery for local artists and even space for a Wright exhibit. Advanced thinking for 1915. The original perspective, published in Wendingen, 1925, was designed as a rectangular building, but the working drawings show an additional two story Studio Annex on the South elevation. The perspective drawing gives a clear impression as to Wright's original intent for the building's design. With the added details,never completed: Corner flag poles with hanging light fixtures; Additional concrete lintel, faced with abstract patterns above the projecting roof over the clerestory windows that ran above the entrance; A single entrance with decorative concrete columns; And horizontal sash bars on either end of the plate glass windows. In total, these details complete the design which always appeared as incomplete. Even the addition of the Studio Annex seems to throw off the balance of the design. While initial designs indicate a rectangular block, the working drawings add the Studio Annex to the South Elevation. Small in size, and with it's own entrance, Wright added many additional window to the Annex.
The Hotel Badger was demolished, and construction on the warehouse began in 1917, but was halted in 1921 when costs surpassed $125,000, on an estimated building cost of $30,000. German was able to utilize the building to warehouse wholesale goods -- flour, sugar, groceries, feed and grain, coal and cement, etc, but other plans like the tea house and galleries never came to fruition. He lost the building in 1932 due to unpaid taxes and bankruptcy, but was able to purchased it back in 1935.
It appears that German never blamed Wright for the cost over-runs, because in 1935, he hired Wright again to design extensive changes and alterations to the building, converting the ground floor to a cafe and restaurants, adding eight apartments to the fourth floor, and an apartment for himself in the unfinished annex. But sadly, those changes were never made. German lost it again in 1937, and the building was sold for $9,000. Hitchcock wrote, "Finer than the patterned blocks of the Midway Gardens are those of this Warehouse. They face the top storey which was for cold storage." In The Nature of Materials, 1942.

Author: Hertzberg, Mark; Introduction by Levine, Neil
Description: The Thomas P. Harding Residence, Racine, Wisconsin (1905 - S.115). Author and photographer Mark Hertzberg's extensive research has uncovered previously, unpublished plans and drawings for Wright's original (and unbuilt) conception of the house, along with vast amounts of correspondence between Hardy and Wright. He has documented the house in all seasons and from many different perspectives, inside and out. His virtual tour includes interviews with various people who have lived in the house or had firsthand knowledge of its history--from Hardy's grandchildren to the present owners. The result is an intricate story of an architectural marvel interlaced with remembrances by its residents. (Publisher's description.) Original list price $19.95. (First Edition)

Title: Frank Lloyd Wright's Penwern, A Summer Estate (Hard Cover DJ) (Published by the Wisconsin Historical Society Press, Madison, Wisconsin)
Author: Hertzberg, Mark
Description: Fred B. Jones Residence and Lodge, Penwern. "Frank Lloyd Wright is best known for his urban and suburban houses. Lesser known are the more than 40 summer "cottages" he designed in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Ontario. Many of the early summer cottages have a rustic feel and are not as easily recognized as Wright's prolific year-round domestic designs. Among them is a stunning estate on Delavan Lake in southern Wisconsin called Penwern. Commissioned by Chicago capitalist Fred B. Jones around 1900, Penwern has received both national and state recognition. The home's current stewards have dedicated themselves to restoring the estate to Wright's vision, ensuring its future. Featuring beautiful color photographs, plus vintage black and white pictures and original Wright drawings, this book transports readers back to the glory days of gracious living and entertaining on the lake."

This insures comfort no matter how cold outside and there are no radiators in sight. What looks like them in the drawings are really the folding screens between the several paces opening into the central or general space -- a kind of enclosed patio..."
