Title: Sacred Spaces. The Houses of Worship Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright (Produced by The Real Shop Productions)

Author: The Real Shop Productions

Description: DVD. "Frank Lloyd Wright has long been regarded as America's greatest architect. Famous for such works as the Guggenheim Museum and Fallingwater, Wright designed over 1,000 buildings during his 70-year career. Sacred Spaces examines his brilliant, but less well-known, houses of worship. Featuring the classical music that Wright most admired, this fascinating documentary showcases all ten religious structures that were created for a wide range of faiths. Wright's uniquely American designs were hugely influential in the field of engineering, and groundbreaking in the way they incorporated natural surroundings. Perhaps the greatest testament to Wright's impact is the fact that active congregations still use each of these structures today...." Original list price $29.95.

Title: Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Circa 1950.

Description: The first church building for the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Milwaukee was built on the Northeast corner of Broadway and Knapp Streets in 1914. In the mid 1950s, as the Greek community prospered and moved to the outskirts of town, they made a decision to build closer to where their members lived. They also made a decision to have Frank Lloyd Wright design their new building. This building was their home and community center from 1914 through 1961. Providence: The Estate of James Mahos, one of the building committee member for the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church.

Title: Greek Orthodox Church, For The Milwaukee Hellenic (Soft Cover) (Published by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, Scottsdale)

Author: Vergis, E. N.; Wright, Frank Lloyd

Description: 1) During December, 1955 the Perish Council selected Frank Lloyd Wright to design their church buildings. According to John Ottenheimer, "I have a strong recollection of the morning in August of 1956, in the drafting room in Wisconsin, when Mr. Wright came in and said, 'There are two things which have been on my mind quite a while which I want to draw this morning.' I put a clean sheet of drafting paper on Mr. Wright's table, sharpened his wooden pencil with a pocket knife, and Mr. Wright proceeded to draw the original plan and elevation of the Greek church, to scale, with T-square, triangles and compasses. This took about an hour. Of course, he had the design already complete in his mind before he started to draw. At that point he turned his original design drawing over to Jack Howe to lay out a set of more finished drawings at a larger scale which he then would work on to complete the design drawings for a presentation to the Greek community." Frank Lloyd Wright's first drawings of the church were dated August 1956. "New World Odyssey," Gurda, 1986. (NWO) p.58-9. Additional presentation drawings dated September 1956, (NWO) p.60-61. The presentation drawing used on the cover of the booklet are dated 1958 by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, (NWO) p.68-69. The committee accepted preliminary drawings and signed an agreement with Wright on September 8, 1956, and Wright was notified in October, 1956. Additional drawings on pages 2, 4-5, 6, 8-9, 10-11 of the pamphlet are dated 1958 by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, NWO p.79, 81, 82. The purpose of this pamphlet was to promote building the church as well as raise funds for the building. "It is the sacred and loving obligation of every single one of us, now... to contribute generously to the building fund, in order that Mr. Wright's creation may become a reality..." From page.4.

Description: Original letter from William Wesley Peters, Taliesin West, to Mr. Alexander Georges, Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church dated January 2, 1959 and signed by William Wesley Peters. “Dear Mr. Georges: We are sorry about the mistake in detailing of the baptismal font. A revised detail will be sent in the near future.
       We are in receipt of a copy of a letter of December 18 from Mr. Schuller of the Woerfel Corporation to John Ottenheimer in which he refers to a verbal conversation with Mr. Mahos regarding gold annodizing on the exterior aluminum panels of the pylon relief. I assume that this has reference to the relief panels over the loud speakers and I wish to make clear these were not intended or specified to be gold annodized. As a matter of fact, we have indicated these panels as being painted with sand finish paint to match exterior concrete finish. These ornamental panels have always been considered as integrally part of the exterior concrete surface – and were never intended to be exposed metal...

Description: Original letter from Mendel Glickman, Taliesin West, to Mr. Stanley Stacy, Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church dated April 16, 1959 and signed by Mendel Glickman. “Dear Mr. Stacy:
When Mr. William Wesley Peters was in Milwaukee he was informed that some question had arisen among some of the church members regarding the unit costs of the church. He requested by telephone that we establish these unit costs and mail them to you.
You must be aware that a building of this kind cannot be assessed nor judged on the basis of the amount of space delivered per dollar; but you will find never the less that the cost per square and per cubic foot are not at all out of line with present day construction costs; and are perhaps even lower than those for many similar public and semipublic buildings.
In making our computations of area and volume we used the methods generally accepted for this purpose by architects and building agencies...
Sincerely yours, M. Glickman (signed). Mendel Glickman. The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. April 16th, 1959.”

Title: Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church Clerestory Window Design 1959 (1956 - S.399).

Description: One of the preliminary designs for the clerestory windows. Designed by Eugene Masselink, they remained unrealized. “ Wright's early drawings showed rough outlines of stained glass in the "lunettes" that ringed the upper level of the church. At the architect's request, Eugene Masselink completed preliminary designs for the windows even before he started work on the icons. Using primary colors, Masselink painted ingenious abstractions of religious figures that flowed into and out of the cross-in-circle motif so prevalent in the church as a whole... The stained glass windows were deferred in 1959, before the Building Committee had a chance to accept or reject Masselink's designs. In their place the contractor installed single panes of uninsulated clear glass. The "temporary" windows stayed in place for seventeen years, and the inevitable condensation caused considerable damage to the upper-level plasterwork.”

Description: Eight original blue ceramic tiles from the roof of the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1956-1958. These tiles surfaced the roof of the dome and the roof over the entrance. On a number of blueprints Frank Lloyd wright specified “Tile” or “Blue Tile Roof.” The result was the roof saturated in a rich, deep blue dome. As Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer described it, “...the blue-tiled dome floating, as it were, and blending into the blue of the sky.” Frank Lloyd Wright Monograph, 1951-1959, Pfeiffer, p.256. The roof was eventually resurfaced, but the roof over the entrance remains covered in blue tiles.

Description: Reprint of two articles by the Milwaukee Journal.
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.

Title: Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Lawsuit, 1965-1970 (1956 - S.399).

Description: Court documents, originals and copies, notes, letters, tests, graphs relating to the failure of the dome ceiling between the Church, construction company, manufacturer and the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.
       “The most serious problems involved the dome. The gold metalflake on the ceiling covered a two-inch-thick layer of asbestos insulation. Air-O-Therm, its manufacturer, described its products as ‘the Modern thermal and acoustic insulations that seal tight where others fail!’ Although the insulation was ‘Jet-Bonded!,’ it began to sag in 1965. On April 10, 1966, a large section fell, showering an area near the sanctuary with glitter and asbestos. The church proper was closed, and services were moved to the chapel.
       The problem, everyone agreed, was moisture. Some sections of the insulation allowed water vapor to pass through to the concrete dome, where it condensed and, in cold weather, froze, effectively breaking the seal. No one could agree about whose fault the problem was. Air-O-Therm obviously bore some responsibility. The Woerfel Corporation, as general contractor, was liable for the performance of its subcontractors. The architects had selected and approved the material.
       And Annunciation had not helped matters. In an effort to reduce energy costs, the parish staff routinely turned off the ventilation system at night, allowing moisture-laden air to rise to the ceiling. Lawyers were called in and, after protracted negotiations, all four parties agreed to share at least some of the cost of patching and repainting.
       Richard Buellesbach, Annunciation's lawyer, said, ‘We got a ten-year guarantee, and it was a good one. But we only needed two years.’ On January 22, 1968, another large section of insulation fell. It was clear, this time, that the entire ceiling was involved. Services and tours continued, but they were held under rented scaffolding that did not enhance the aesthetic impact of the building. The scaffolding stayed up for nearly a year, at a cost of $13,000. Annunciation, in the meantime, sued both Air-O-Therm and Woerfel for $75,000 in damages. When the contractor and subcontractor blamed the architects, the parish added Taliesin to the suit and raised its claim to $100,000.
       The lawsuit was finally settled, out of court, in 1970. The three defendants agreed to pay Annunciation a total of $54,296.39 in damages. The parish, of course, had not waited until 1970 to remedy an intolerable situation. In mid-1968 the parish council hired a contractor to replace all of the asbestos insulation (later identified as a health hazard) with a relatively new foamed-in-place urethane. The natural surface of the urethane was bumpy- ‘It looked like cauliflower,’ said one parishioner - until its contours were softened with a device called a ‘scarfing machine.’ The result was, in John Ot-tenheimer's words, ‘the largest hand-carved ceiling in the world.’ When it was painted, the ceiling had the appearance of hammered gold.
      There have been no insulation problems since the new ceiling was installed...” New World Odyssey, Gurda, 1986, p.114-115.

Title: Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, Consecration. Sept 12, 1971 (Soft Cover) (Published by the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, Milwaukee, Wisconsin)

Author: Annunciation Greek

Description: Consecration Service for the church building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, held on September 12, 1971.
       “It is our great pleasure and privilege to extend our heartfelt congratulations on the solemn and most important occasion of the Consecration of your beautiful Church on September 12th...” Archbishop Iakovos, For the Greek Orthodox Church in North and South America.
       “The Annunciation Church was a very exciting project for my husband since he knew that the Greek Orthodox Church was the religion of my youth. He asked me what expression was most characteristic of the Greek Orthodox faith. After I told him that the cross was the essential symbol, he took some time to reflect on the finest form he could give to the Annunciation Church before touching his pencil. That was the way he always worked.
       “Once he had a project to do, he thought about it all the time until it was completely set within his mind. Only then did he put the concept into visual form. So it was with the Greek Orthodox Church. One day he exclaimed, "I've got it!", and hastened into the drafting room, sharpened his pencil and the white sheet on the drafting board received his idea. He drew the cross upon which the church stands today. He made the drawings so as to allow the icons to become part of the building, integral with the great sanctuary. He gave the building a gentle dome surrounded and supported by luminous spheres of light. It is thus that he achieved the mystical atmosphere that permeates this House of God.” Mrs. Frank Lloyd Wright, Taliesin, July 26, 1971. Includes one portrait of Frank Lloyd Wright. (First Edition)

ANNUNCIATION GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH EXTERIOR (2022)
   
Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 2022 (1956 - S.399). Set of 50 exterior and 49 interior photographs of the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church. Photographed on September 10, 2022 during a visit to Wisconsin. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1956. Circular in design, it incorporates the Greek Orthodox symbol of the cross, directly and indirectly. Historically, the Greek Orthodox cross is depicted as a stand alone cross and also within a circle. Frank Lloyd Wright chose the later. The cross and the dome, two dominate symbols of the faith, and Wright incorporated both. The church is constructed of concrete. The dome sets atop an inverted dome and is supported by four concrete piers. The four piers form a cross within the floor plan. Atop each pier is the Greek Orthodox symbol of the cross.
       The roof and curved arch over the entrance were surfaced with blue mosaic tile. But because the roof had issues with leaking, it was resurfaced. The arched entrance however retained the blue mosaic tile.
       Stain glass windows are incorporated throughout the church and are a dominate feature. Semi-circular windows surround the
  circumference of the dome. There are windows at the entrance and also the narthex (foyer). Seating fills the lower level. Three circular stairways, lead up to the balcony level which is filled with additional seating. as well as down to the lower level. Light poles, set within the circular stairways reach from the lower lever through the main level to the ceiling of the upper level. The Chancel (platform) reaches nearly to the center of the auditorium. Behind the pulpit is an ornately decorated screen with religious symbols. The screen encloses the alter and the alter area.
       As we were photographing the exterior of the church, the choir arrived. During a conversation with one of the members, we were graciously given the opportunity of viewing the interior and photographing it.
       Photographed on September 14, 2022 during a visit to Wisconsin by Douglas M. Steiner. Our intent is to record the details that create the totality of the design, creating a complete picture. In an effort to expedite adding these photographs to this website, we have dispensed with a description for each photograph. Set of 50 exterior and 49 interior 23 X 15 high res digital images.
