Prof. E. A. Gilmore's Residence, Madison, Wis.
Another of Architect Frank Lloyd Wright's designs is the unique and attractive house of Prof. E. A. Gilmore, of the University of Wisconsin.
The long, rakish Japanese roofs and balconies are in evidence, while the broad panels of smooth, white cement plaster, accentuated by rough dark trim, give the residence a marked individuality.
Mr. George Bischoff, a contractor, did the construction work, and the total cost of the place was $10,000. Prof. Gilmore is very well pleased with his house, and regards the investment as entirely satisfactory. (Includes one photographs of the Gilmore Residence.)
Booklet also includes Brigham, Evans and Stockman.

MONONA TERRACE TESTIMONIAL BANQUET
Monona Terrace Testimonial Banquet. February 10, 1955. In 1954 the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that Wright owed $10,000 in back taxes on Taliesin. For years he had argued that Taliesin was primarily a school and therefore tax exempt. He was so mad he threatened to destroy Taliesin and move from the state. Cary Caraway, a former apprentice suggested that Wright's friends express their appreciation and take up a collection. Mary Lescohier and Helen Groves made it happen. 380 supporters gathered in the Great Hall of the U.W. Memorial Union for a tribute. Wright took the opportunity to display the new Monona Terrace model. At the end of the program, he received a check for $10.000. Frank Lloyd Wright's Monona Terrace, page 140.

Title: Monona Terrace Civic Center 1953, Madison, Wisconsin (Project).
Description: Areal view of the Monona Terrace Civic Center from Monona Avenue. Frank Lloyd Wright originally conceived this design for "Olin Terrace - The Dream Civic Center" in 1938, presenting extensive drawings, perspectives and even a model to the County Board Meeting. Like other large project, obstacle stood in the way and it fell by the wayside. The project was resurrected again in 1953 and Wright created additional drawings and on October 29, 1953 presented his plan to the citizens of Madison. Wright's original 1939 perspective, published in Frank Lloyd Wright's Monona Terrace, Mollenhoff, Hamilton, 1999, p.98-99, was tattered, so this illustration was redrawn for the 1953 presentation. Published in Frank Lloyd Wright's Monona Terrace, p.124-125. Text in the drawing: "Extension and Terminal of Monona Avenue. Seven Acres of Made over Existing Railroad Tracks for Parking. Lake Water Thrown up into Monumental Fountains. Civic Auditorium Seating 10,000, Fronting Olin Terrace. County Jail and Offices, City Hall, Union Railroad Depot. Monona Avenue. The City Goes to the Lake. Seven Months Water Domes. Five Months Evergreens. Cost $17,500,000." Clipping pasted to verso: "This is the Civic Center that Frank Lloyd Wright has designed for Madison. Tuesday, Madison voters will decide whether they favor Wright as the architect of a smaller auditorium building among the same lines. Beneath the roof of the Civic Center shown above, Wright envisioned an auditorium, city and county offices, parking space for up to 5000 cars, mooring space for 500 boats and a union railroad station, all to cost $20 million. Wright said the Civic Center would make Madison a tourist mecca. It would jut out over Lake Monona in downtown Madison. Tuesday's vote will be on a $4 million structure." Stamped on clipping: "Oct 31 1954." Hand written on verso: "Wright Plan." On November 2, 1954 voters approved the Monona Terrace site and Frank Lloyd Wright as the architect. Additional drawings and model were created in 1955. It would not be until 1997 that Monona Terrace would finally open to the public. FLLW Foundation #3909.002.

Problems persisted, pro and con arguments were given, and Wright layout out his thesis for advancing with Monona Terrace. "The Monona Terrace project is what might well be termed a Natural. That is to say the features were all there and ready, waiting to be so combined into a work of art -- this time, the great art of architecture -- that Madison, so richly gifted by nature with beautiful waterfront's (as few cities have been), might do something useful and beautiful with them; 'on her own.' The town, itself centered nearest Lake Monona, has ignored and virtually lost the beauty of this lake because, contrary to state law, she has been cut off from the lake by railroad tracks running across the Monona waterfront within two blocks of the center of town -- now the state capital..."

Monona Terrace Auditorium and Civic Center Blueprints and Specifications, 1961 Monona Terrace Auditorium and Civic Center Blueprints and Specifications, 1961. In 1938, a private committee, headed by Paul F. Harloff commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to design a civic center on the shores of Lake Monona on a plot of land known as "Olin Terrace," a park at the end of the mall that extended from the state capital to the shores of Lake Monona in Madison, Wisconsin. Wright drew up plans, named it Olin Terraces. Opposition to the plan and the war put plans on hold until the early 1950s. Plans to build a civic center were resurrected in 1953. Wright was encouraged to reintroduce his plan, and in October, 1953 using the original concept, presented drawings to the citizens of Madison. In 1955, Wright redesigned the plans, and built a model of the Monona Terrace Civic Center. Although Wright's project was supported by the mayor and citizens groups, it also encountered strong opposition. After Wright's death, the Taliesin Associated Architects, lead by William Wesley Peters, completed working drawings and specifications for the project and put it out to bids during the early part of 1961. The bids returned at triple the budget, the battle continued, and the project was placed on hold. On July 20, 1997, nearly forty years after Mr. Wright's death, opening ceremonies began for the completed Monona Terrace Civic Center. This set is from 1961. Eugene Gangstad worked for the city of Madison as the Director of Planning. He noticed that these plans had been thrown in the dumpster. After rescuing and storing the plans for years, he passed them on to his son, Kent. "After taking them with me through a couple of moves, and storing them carefully each time, I figured it was time for someone else to appreciate them," said Kent. We acquired them from Kent Gangstad in 2015. Eugene retired from the city in the late 80's. Date: 1961 Title: Monona Terrace Auditorium and Civic Center Blueprints

The apprentice and staff group is shown relaxing at afternoon tea outside the drafting room, and company with some children of the associates... Taliesin West. Wright is still making news. Although he will be 85 years old in June, Frank Lloyd Wright is still making news with astounding regularity. The Wisconsin architect has been a controversial character almost since young manhood for his unconventional designs and innovations which have influenced architects throughout the world. His buildings now under construction and on the planning boards continue to make headlines. A Wisconsin court decided last summer that, for tax purposes, the Wright foundation could not be called a school, but in the eyes of the federal government the foundation qualifies for training architects under the G.I. Bill..." Includes 22 images photographed at Taliesin West by Don Heilemann.

1) We Visit a New Church. In our time, superlatives have little meaning. When an olive can be described by its packer as supercolossal, what can one say to convey true beauty, grace and spirit?
This is prelude to saying that we have visited the new Greek Orthodox Church of the Annunciation, the only major piece of work from the hand of the late Frank Lloyd Wright in the Milwaukee area. Our mood still is one of joy mixed with awe.
2) New Greek Church, Designed by Wright, Is Praised Strongly; Termed "Work of Art.'
Architects Here, Also Laud, Congregation for its Courage and Foresight.
The new Annunciation Greek Orthodox church - the only major nonresidential building in Milwaukee designed by the late Frank Lloyd Wright - has received strong acclaim from some of his fellow architects here.
Members of the profession who were queried last week, were extremely enthusiastic in their praise of the structure, the man who designed it and the Greek congregation to which it belongs.
If there were critics of the church's design, they were either unavailable for comment or refused to offer an opinion at all. Other architects felt that they could not comment fairly because they had not seen the church in its near complete form.
Aquire from the Estate of James Mahos, one of the building committee member for the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church.

In the mid-1950s, Seth Peterson, a young computer specialist working in Madison, began to pester Wright for plans for a cottage into which, according to local stories, he hoped to move with his bride after their marriage.

Description: 1) Will the Saga Finally End? Frank Lloyd Wright's Monona Terrace will break ground in 95 - probably. Like Jarndyce and Jarndyce, the interminable family lawsuit around which Dickens spun his tragicomic tale of delayed justice in London's chancery courts, the saga of Madison v. Frank Lloyd Wright has chugged on for more than a half century. Indeed, the battle over Wright's never-built civic complex on Lake Monona is easily the longest continuing argument in the history of this famously contentious capital city, my home town..." 2) "Center's design will marry the city and lake overseer says. Will the new, Frank Lloyd Wright-inspire Madison Convention Center be the Wright stuff, or is it just faux Frank? It depends on your perspective. To Ann Fleischli, a Madison attorney trying to stop the project, it's very deceptive to call the building Wright-designed. People who are interested in Frank Lloyd Wright, other than those who are just blindly religious about this project, know that a Wright, like a Picasso, has to have been built by its creator to be called a Wright. This wasn't. It's faux [false] Frank..." Includes six photographs and illustrations.

His signature prairie style homes, with clean lines, straight angles and creative use of space, were outside-the-box for the post-Victoria era in which they were designed
Six Wright homes-two single-family, and four two-family duplexes - still stand on the 2700 block of west Burn-ham Street. They are American System-Built homes, which was Wright's broad gesture to a wide audience, says Mike Lilek, curator and volunteer with Frank Lloyd Wright's Burnham Block, Inc. (FLWBB). The FLWBB volunteer-run nonprofit owns five of the six Wright homes on the Burnham Block. Through grants, contributions and revenue generated by tours, they have restored two of the houses. Restoration of a third Wright house is on the horizon..."Â Includes six photographs by Michael Burmesch.
