AUSTIN RESIDENCE (1951 - S.345)
Austin Residence 1951-1954. Gabrielle and Charlcy V. Austin Residence Drawing Negatives, 1951-1954 (1951 - S.345). Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1951, it was completed in 1954 on a two-acre sloping lot. Walls were constructed of Dessert Rubblestone and concrete in the manner of Taliesin West. The walls slope in as they rise. Forms were constructed, filled with rock, and concrete was then poured into the forms. Like many of Wright' Usonian homes, floors were concrete embedded with pipe for the radiant heating system, and tinted Cherokee red. Cypress was used on the walls and ceilings as was most of the furniture. The Living Room included built-in seating as well as a massive fireplace. The Workspace (kitchen) ceiling is 18' high, capped with a skylight. Although Wright specified cedar shingles, asphalt shingles where used, most likely due to cost. One of only two homes in South Carolina, the other is Auldbrass. Wright named the home "Broad Margin." From a set of twelve original B&W negatives of the Austin blueprints. Date: 1951-1952

Title: Frank Lloyd Wright' $10,000 Home. History, Design, and Restoration of the Bach House (Soft Cover) (Published by Hilton Publishing Company,. Crown Point, Indiana, and Master Wings Publishing, Chicago)
Author: Hartnett, Robert J.
Description: "When Emil and Anna Bach approached Frank Lloyd Wright to design and build their Chicago home in 1915, he quoted a cost of $10,000, or $250,000 in modern purchasing power. Wright is known for his grand, international designs like the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo and the Guggenheim in New York. But he also designed beautiful and carefully practical small family homes like the Bach's "little dream house." Frank Lloyd Wright's $10,000 Home is a design-focused portrait of that iconic building, featuring rare building illustrations, beautiful maps, intimate family stories, and extensive photographs that offer a distinctive look at the house's history, the families that lived there, and the thoughtful process of its protection and restoration."

Mr. R. W. Evans' Bungalow, Chicago.
An interesting example of Mr. Frank Lloyd Wright's originality of design is located at 9914 Longwood Blvd., Chicago. It is owned by Mr. R. W. Evans, and was built by Mr. John Wilkinson, 1757 West 102nd St., Chicago.
One seldom encounters as beautiful a picture as this bungalow makes with its surroundings, when the foliage is at its best. Placed high on a ridge and well back among the trees, with a wide sloping lawn in the foreground, and a dark green background of shrubbery, it indeed presents a charming picture, impressing one with the idea of a cozy, comfortable home.
The long rakish bungalow effect obtained by the use of Japanese roofs, makes this a unique and artistic residence. The total cost was $12,000. The house is of frame construction with dark trim on the outside and light trim on the inside, and the exterior coat is white plaster, sand finished. The arrangement of the house makes it ideal for its purpose. The main part of the lower floor is a large living room, the upper floor being reserved for bedrooms and the like. One of the wings at the side is used as a dining room with a porte-cochere at the extreme end; the other wing is an open-air porch which is used as a dining-room in summer.
The house extends across the lot, but with the open porch at one end and the drive at the other, one goes through the house instead of around it. This is an admirable example of adaptability, illustrating that the residence can be, and should be, constructed to suit the grounds. Includes one photographs of the Evans Residence. (Includes one photographs of the Evans' Residence.)
Also includes Brigham, Gilmore and Stockman.

Description: "The Hanna House was pivotal in Frank Lloyd Wright' career as the first built design that fully used his revolutionary concepts of non-rectilinear geometry. It exemplifies the modern exploration of free, open spatial planning and it is one of America' architectural treasures." Title page. "In 1989, the Loma Prieta earthquake damaged many building at Stanford University, including the Hanna House, one of Frank Lloyd Wright' most innovative works. Following the earthquake, the house had to be vacated and braced to prevent further damage. After a lengthy process, the work of repairing and restoring the building has now been largely completed. The story of this process illustrated the difficulties of rehabilitating a damaged building of unusual design and historic importance..." Gift from Kathryn Smith. (First Edition)

Lloyd Lewis Side Chair, Courtesy of "Frank Lloyd Wright Furniture", Heinz, 1993. Title: A conversation with Frank Lloyd Wright and Hugh Downs 1953.
Description: Frank Lloyd Wright photographed during the filming of the program, "Conversations with Elder Wise Men -- A Visit with Frank Lloyd Wright" Episode 105, filmed on May 8, 1953, Chicago. The host for the program was Hugh Downs. Clipping on verso: "Frank Lloyd Wright, brilliant American architect, will be presented in a conversation with Hugh Downs of NBC' Chicago staff, Sunday, May 17, at 2:30 p.m. CT over WNBQ - Channel 5 and NBC. This will be the fifth in a series of filmed conversations with distinguished figures of this age." Stamped on clipping: "May 20 1953." Note: Interesting to note the chair Wright brought to the interview. It appears to be a side chair designed in 1939 for the Lloyd Lewis Residence (S.265). This placed Wright much higher than Downs, forcing him to continually look up at Wright during the interview.

Title: Frank Lloyd Wright' Rosenbaum House. The Birth and Rebirth of an American Treasure (Hard Cover DJ) (Published by Pomegranate Communications, Inc., Petaluma, CA)
Author: Broach, Barbara Kimerline; Lambert, Donald E.; Bagby, Milton
Description: Dust Jacket: Architecture critic Peter Blake wrote in 1960 that during the 1930s, Wright built four structures of a beauty unexcelled in America before or since. One of the four was the Rosenbaum House, the subject of this book. Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) developed the Usonian home as low-cost housing for newlyweds (as Stanley and Mildred Rosenbaum were in 1939, when construction began on their house) and others without a lot of money to spend. Far ahead of its time, the versatile design formed the basis for some of Wright's best residences. The Rosenbaums' sixty-year occupancy of their Usonian suggests a certain strength of character. Wright's design sometimes preceded the technology necessary to keep them functioning. This house's heating system failed, incurably and almost immediately. The roof developed Niagara-like leaks. The cantilevered carport became frighteningly flexible. Another cantilever had to be supported by planks. The Rosenbaums loved the place anyway, and when their growing family called for its expansion and major remodeling, it was to Wright that they turned. In 1999, the city of Florence, Alabama, purchased the house even though city inspectors thought it beyond saving. The inspectors were wrong. Now restored, the beautiful Rosenbaum House is a museum. This book tells the story of the building's design, construction--which, like so many of Wright's commissions, involved high drama punctuated by humor--remodeling, and restoration. Written with lucid wit and plentifully illustrated with photographs and drawings, it is insightful and entertaining in equal measure. Original list price $19.95. (First Edition)

STEVENS (AULDBRASS PLANTATION) (1940 - S.261-264) Date: 1940
Title: Leigh Stevens, Auldbrass Plantation, Yemassee, South Carolina, Ornamental Downspout Plan, 1940 (1940 - S.261-264). FLLW #4015.19.
Description: Plan for the Ornamental Downspout for the Leigh Stevens, Auldbrass Plantation. Top and side views. Frank Lloyd Wright designed some of the first buildings on the property in 1939. Wright originally designed copper ornamental downspouts for Auldbrass, but copper was difficult to obtain so at Stevens’ request, Wright designed this ornamental wood pendant, suspended at each corner between the downspouts. Hand written on plan by Frank Lloyd Wright: “Print to Leigh.” Text lower left: “4015.19.” Lower text: “Ornamental Gutter Corner - ‘Auldbrass.’ “
When Joel Silver acquired Auldbrass in 1986, it was in disrepair, and half complete. Silver restored Auldbrass, completed unfinished buildings, and replaced the ornamental wood downspouts with Wright’s original design, producing them in copper as Wright had initially specified.
" 'Old Brass' was the name given to a tract of land in South Carolina that includes over 4,000 acres. "In the mid 1930s the Savanna River Lumber Co. Which owned the tract of land slid into bankruptcy. C. Leigh Stevens took over the responsibility of reorganizing the company, and ended up "with its shares held by Stevens." Old Brass was one of many holdings owned by the reorganized Savanna River Lumber Co. The modern history of "Auldbrass" which Wright adapted from Old Brass started in 1939 when C. Leigh Stevens commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to create a plantation complex of buildings for his southern home..." Auldbrass, The Plantation Complex Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, Stevens, 1992.

Title: Auldbrass, The Plantation Complex Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. A Documented History of Its South Carolina Lands (Hard Cover) (Published by Southern Historical Press, Inc., Greenville, SC)
Author: Loring, Jessica Stevens
Description: "Old Brass" was the name given to a tract of land in South Carolina that includes over 4,000 acres. "In the mid 1930s the Savanna River Lumber Co. Which owned the tract of land slid into bankruptcy. C. Leigh Stevens took over the responsibility of reorganizing the company, and ended up "with its shares held by Stevens." Old Brass was one of many holdings owned by the reorganized Savanna River Lumber Co. The modern history of "Auldbrass" which Wright adapted from Old Brass started in 1939 when C. Leigh Stevens commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to create a plantation complex of buildings for his southern home. In 1962, after her father' death, Jessica Stevens Loring and her brother inherited the Plantation, she bought out her brother. This volume studies the complete history of the area surrounding and including Auldbrass from 1737 through 1938. There are a few references to Frank Lloyd Wright' Audbrass, and one photograph.

Author: De Long, David G.; Silver, Joel
Description: Although Frank Lloyd Wright designed more than 1,000 projects during his long and prolific career, Auldbrass Plantation, in Yemassee, South Carolina, is the only plantation he ever designed. It is also one of the largest and most complex projects he ever undertook. Wright had an unusually intense commitment to Auldbrass, and worked on it, off and on, for more than twenty years, from 1938 until his death in 1959. Because Auldbrass was private and because it fell into disrepair in the 1960s after the owners' death, it was rarely photographed or studied, and as a consequence little has been known about this major work. With a recently completed restoration and new photography, this book affords a rare opportunity to see one of Wright's greatest works, as the master himself originally envisioned it. Through photos, plans, and drawings, we see what Wright planned, and how it has finally all been either restored or realized for the first time. In 1986, film producer Joel Silver (Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, 48 Hours, Predator, Romeo Must Die, The Matrix, and over forty other films) bought Auldbrass. He had earlier bought and meticulously restored Wright's famous 1923 Storer House in Hollywood. Now he has again collaborated with Wright's grandson, architect Eric Lloyd Wright, who restored the Storer House, to restore the Auldbrass Plantation. (Dust Jacket) Original list price $45.00.

One of the architects, former Wilmette resident David Sellers, of Warren, Vt., said the Sheridan Rd. house is Wright' 'first great masterpieces.' He said that under the proposal, architects, students, art historians and other interested parties would live there up to a week, no more than 10 at a time. 'The basic notion is that one who wants to study residential architecture do it under the conditions it was designed for - to live in it,' Sellers said. 'You want to spend more than an hour in the thing, to see the morning sun some up and see the evening sun go down.' " Acquired from the archives of the Chicago Sun Times.
