Title: The Architectural Record - January-March 1892, Volume 1, No. 3 (Published quarterly by The Record and Guide, New York City, New York)

Author: Wright, Frank Lloyd

Description: Illustration of the James Charnley Residence, Chicago (1891 - S.009). Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1891 while working in the offices of Adler and Sullivan. Text: "Corner Astor and Schiller Streets, Chicago. Residence of James Charnley, Esq., Adler & Sullivan, Architects." In early 1887 Wright left Madison for Chicago. Almost immediately he acquired an entry level job as a tracer with Joseph Lyman Silsbee, an architect well known for Queen Anne and Shingle-Style homes. He was soon promoted to draftsman. In 1888 he took a job as a draftsman for Adler and Sullivan. Wright soon took over the design of residential structures. Newton J. Tharp was the illustrator. Signed lower right: "N. J. Tharp ‘91." Newton J. Tharp (1867 - 1909). According to his obituary, "During his youth he went to Chicago, where he took up the study of architecture and painting. Later he went to Paris, where he attended the institute of Beaux Arts. Having traveled in Europe for two years he returned to the United States and practiced his profession as an architect in New York and Chicago, but decided to settle in San Francisco in 1889."

Title: Architectural Record - June 1905 (Published by The Architectural; Record Company, New York)

Author: Smith, Lyndon P.

Description: The Home of an Artist-Architect. Louis H. Sullivan's Place at Ocean Springs, Mississippi.” Although attributed to Louis Sullivan, it has been recognized as a design by Frank Lloyd Wright. “Down in the sunny South, between New Orleans and Mobile, where the sparkling waters of the Gulf of Mexico makes one of its beautiful indentations, Biloxi Bay, girt by beach of golden sand and dark green pine trees, there lies a little tract of land some three hundred feet wide and eighteen hundred feet deep, in the midst of a forest.
       The white shell road in front runs along a bluff ten feet above the water and beach, curving around in a gentle line.
       One passes through the gates to within either by its winding carriage road or bordered paths and up a series of easy steps. There are no signs: ‘Trespassing not allowed.’ Visitors and lovers of Nature are welcome, for this is the resting place of a true believer in real Democracy who has voiced his sentiments in no uncertain tones...” Includes 17 photographs and one illustration.

Title: Architectural Record - July 1905 (Digital) (Published by The Architectural Record Company, New York)

Author: Anonymous

Description: Work of Frank Lloyd Wright - Its Influence. No collection of reproductions of American houses, in which it is proposed to include certain typical phases of contemporary American domestic architecture, would be complete without some exhibition of the work of Mr. Frank Lloyd Wright, of Chicago. The houses he has designed imperatively claim attention, not only because of their startling qualities, but because of the influence they have had. Mr. Wright, indeed, stands more prominently than does any other Western architect, whose work has consisted chiefly in designing residences, for the ideas and tendencies, which have been embodied mainly in business buildings, by Mr. Louis Sullivan. Those ideas and tendencies are similar to the ideas which have given form to the "new art" of France and Germany. In their application to architecture, the attempt is to secure a more truthful relation between structure and design, a franker expression... Includes eight photographs of Wright’s houses including, Bradley (4), Hickox, Willet (2) and Husser. Photographed by Henry Fuermann. (Digital copy) (Sweeney 58)

Title:  Architectural Record - March 1908 (Digital) (Published by The Architectural Record Company, New York)

Author: Wright, Frank Lloyd

Description: A major article on the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. “In The Cause of Architecture... Radical though it be, the work here illustrated is dedicated to a cause conservative in the best sense of the word. At no point does it involve denial of the elemental law and order inherent in all great architecture ; rather, is it a declaration of love for the spirit of that law and order, and a reverential recognition of the elements that made its ancient letter in its time vital and beautiful... A building should appear to grow easily from its site and be shaped to harmonize with its surroundings if Nature is manifest there, and if not try to make it as quiet, substantial and organic as She would have been were the opportunity Hers.*” Includes 86 photographs and illustrations.

Title: Architectural Record - April 1908 (Published by The Architectural Record Company, New York)

Author: Sturgis, Russell

Description: “The Larkin Building in Buffalo. This business building, the architectural creation of Mr. Frank Lloyd Wright of Chicago, is reproduced in many excellent photographs, some of which will be shown in this article and others in the March number of the Architectural Record. From among them I select Fig. I as the most capable of giving a general idea of the design. The plan given in Fig. 8 shows the purpose of each member of the building, and the scale can be estimated as to the heights, on the basis afforded by the steps of the entrance doorways, checked by the height of the doorway (seen in Fig. I) themselves, and by comparison with the plan. It is not safe to utilize be of unusual dimension or laid with unusually wide joints. The nearest tower-like mass in Fig. I – that against which the telegraph pole is seen relieved – is about 90 feet high...” Includes six photographs and one illustration.

Author: Schuyler, Montgomery

Description: An Architectural Pioneer: Review of the Portfolios containing the works of Frank Lloyd Wright." Book review of the 1910 Wasmuth portfolios. "Such works of Frank Lloyd Wright as he thinks worth preserving in pictorial presentation, and as probably profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, have just been issued in two large and handsome portfolios, from the press of Ernst Warmuth [s.i.c.] in Berlin... Meanwhile, it is hard to see how an unprejudiced inquirer can deny that such designees as Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Wright have the root of the matter, and that their works are of good hope, in contrast with the rehandling and rehashing of admired historical forms in which there is no future nor any possibility of progress."

Description: "Concerning The Imperial Hotel - Tokyo, Japan. ...This great work is the masterpiece of Frank Lloyd Wright, a great free spirit, whose fame as a master of ideas is an accomplished world-wide fact. Through prior visits he had discerned, and added to the wealth of his own rich nature, the spirit, as evidenced in forms, of the ideals of Old Japan, which still persist, in slumber, among its living people, needing but the awakening touch... In this regard the Imperial Hotel stands unique as the high water mark thus far attained by any modern architect. Superbly beautiful it stands – a noble prophecy."

Description: "Imperial Hotel, Tokyo, Japan." Begins with: "Extracts from a report to Frank Lloyd Wright by Enod San, Assistant to Mr. Wright during construction of the building. Dated September 8, 1923... Frank Lloyd Wright’s Imperial Hotel stands practically uninjured after resisting the most severe seismic shocks, both in intensity and duration, the civilized world has ever recorded. Surrounded by ruins the Imperial stands, a symbol of progress and a lasting tribute to man’s power in combating the elements... The Imperial stands with not a single occupant injured and showing no greater damage than slight cracks that would appear as shrinkage cracks at any other time." Includes three photographs of the Imperial Hotel. Note: This volume bound with January-June, 1924 Issues. (Sweeney 159) Description:  "Reflections on the Tokyo Disaster. ...The emergence, unharmed, of the Imperial Hotel, from the heartrending horrors of the Tokyo disaster, takes on, at once, momentous importance in the world of modern thought, as a triumph of the living and the real over the credulous, the fantastic, and the insane... The architect of the Imperial Hotel, whose name by the way is Frank Lloyd Wright, a fact I should in all honor have mentioned earlier, had I not been so engrossed in an attempt to clothe in words the basic idea of my thesis - the most dangerous and destructive of all ideas – the idea of Credulity; this architect I say, whom I have known since his eighteenth year, and the workings of whose fine mind I believe I fairly follow, is possessed of a rare sense of the human, and an equally rare sense of Earth, coupled with an apprehension of the material, so delicate as to border on the mystic, and yet remain coordinate with those facts we call real life..."

Description: "Louis H Sullivan - His Work. Louis Sullivan’s great value as an Artist-Architect - alive or dead - lies in his firm grasp of principle. He knew the truths of Architecture as I believe no one before him knew them. And profoundly he realized them. This illumination of his was the more remarkable a vision when all around him cultural mists hung low to 0bscure or blight every dawning hope of a finer beauty in the matter of this world... When he brought in the board with the motive of the Wainwright Building outlined in profile and in scheme upon it and threw it down on my table, I was perfectly aware of what had happened. This was Louis Sullivan’s greatest moment - his greatest effort. The "skyscraper" as a new thing beneath the sun, an entity with virtue, individuality and beauty all its own, was born... The Wainwright Building cleared the way, and to this day remains the master key to the skyscraper as a matter of Architecture in the work of the world..." Original Cover Price 35c. (Sweeney 164)

Perhaps the greatest difference eventually between ancient and modern buildings will be due to our modern machine-made glass. Glass, in any wide utilitarian sense, is new. Once a precious substance limited in quantity and size, glass and its making have grown so that a perfect clarity of any thickness, quality or dimension is so chap and desirable that our modern world is drifting toward structures of glass and steel. Had the ancients been able to enclose the interior space with the facility we enjoy because of glass, I suppose the history of architecture would have been radically different, although it is surprising how little this material has yet modified our sense of architecture beyond the show-windows the shop keeper demands and gets..."

Description: Book Review by Frank Lloyd Wright:
Fiske Kimball's New Book. I have just finished reading Fiske Kimball's new book on "American Architecture," - after admiring the slip-cover effectively showing the "Temple to Mammon."
       The title of Mr. Kimball's book should have been "Architecture in America." According to him American Architecture has passed out and all we have left is what McKim, Mead and White and the plan-factories, - initiated by Daniel H. Burnham - have borrowed from Europe the Classic - and have used to successfully conceal the ways and means by which it has its being.
       I learned from the genial writer in the early chapters of his book, and enjoyed his glowing pages until I got to the matter of which I know considerable, beginning with the chapter. "What is Modern Architecture." Here Fiske Kimball allows Nature quite enough rope to hang herself and awards the 'victory' to the Sophist Greek and his elegant abstractions in this— the Machine Age. He does this apparently with both eyes wide open, quite gaily unconscious of the fact that he pleads the old mime of 'Art' for Art's Sake." Therein is he a good Greek.
       There is no objection to anyone's doing this so well as Fiske Kimball does it, but, easy to see, he doesn't really believe it, as does no one else of his calibre today... Frank Lloyd Wright. (Sweeney 205)

Description: In The Cause of Architecture: VII - The Meaning of Materials - Concrete.
       I am writing this on the Phoenix plain of Arizona. The ruddy granite mountain-heaps, grown "old," are decomposing and sliding down layer upon layer to further compose the soil of the plain. Granite in various stages of decay, sand, silt and gravel make the floor of the world here.
       Buildings could grow right up out of the "ground" were this "soil," before it is too far "rotted," cemented in proper proportions and beaten into flasks or boxes—a few steel strands dropped in for reinforcement.
       Cement may be, here as elsewhere, the secret stamina of the physical body of our new world. Wright, Frank Lloyd And steel has given to cement (this invaluable ancient medium) new life, new purposes and possibilities, for when the coefficient of expansion and contraction was found to be the same in concrete and steel, a new world was opened to the Archi-tect. The Machine in giving him steel-strands gave concrete the right-of-way.
       Yet three-fourths of the dwellings here are of wood and brick brought from great distances and worked up into patterns originated, east, thirty years ago. The “houses” are quite as indigenous as a cocked-hat, and almost as deciduous; one-half the cost of the whole - freight.
       The Indian did better in the adobe dwelling he got from Mexico and built in the foot-hills. Even the few newer concrete buildings imitate irrelevant "styles" - although more relevant Mexico 1s coming north at the moment, to the rescue, in little ways. So funny, they will be architectural comedy ten years later...

Description: In The Cause of Architecture: IX The Terms.
       Enough, by now, has been said of materials to show direction and suggest how far the study of their natures may go. We have glanced at certain major aspects of the more obvious of building-materials only, because these studies are not intended to do more than fire the imagination of the young architect and suggest to him a few uses and effects that have proved helpful in my own work. The subject has neither bottom, sides nor top, if one would try to exhaust "the nature of materials"! How little consideration the modern architect has yet really given them. Wright, Frank Lloyd Opportunity has languished in consequence and is waiting, still.
       Perhaps these articles have been guilty of "poetic" interpretation now and then, turning these "materials" over and over in the hand. The imagination has caught the light on them, in them as well, and tried to fix a ray or two of their significance in the sympathetic mind.
       Poetry, Poetic, Romantic, Ideal.
       These words now indicate disease or crime because a past century failed with them and gave us the language of form - instead of the significant form itself.
       So if we are not to fall into the category of "language" ourselves, I owe an explanation of the meaning of these words, for I shall continue to use them....

"This monograph on Frank Lloyd Wright has the honor of being the first of a series on the masters of contemporary architecture; and, as everyone knows who is familiar with the history of modern architecture in America and Europe, the honor is well deserved. The writer, however, is not a Frenchman, but an American, Mr. Henry-Russell Hitchcock – a fact which possibly testifies to the unfamiliarity of the French with Mr. Wright's work, since his influence in France has been negligible, and his method and point of view are foreign both to the official architecture of the past and to that of the contemporary classicists of the machine. Mr. Hitchcock's introduction occupies only four pages of this monograph, the rest consisting chiefly of photographs of Mr. Wright's buildings, together with a few obscurely reproduced plans; yet in these four pages Mr. Hitchcock manages to raise, by statement or implication, many of the important issues that must be faced in modern architecture..."

To understand Frank Lloyd Wright, who's own effort at self-understanding now lies before us in his Autobiography, we must turn to the writers of another period of storm and stress – the great German thinkers who defined the nature of poetic or artistic creation, and who themselves so deeply influenced Wright and, before him, Louis Sullivan. It was in the later eighteenth century that reaction against an exclusive worship of reason lead Klopstock to realize that ‘true poetry must spring from the deeply agitated heart, in order to stir the hearts of men.’ Thus arose with Herder the conception of the genius, who by the totality of his faculties, by his senses, his feelings, imagination and reasoning, could draw upon the primal source of nature and humanity to bring forth creative works of deep originality, akin to those of nature itself…" Includes on photograph of the Robie House.

Title: Apprenticeship Training For The Architect. July 7, 1936.

Description: Carbon Copy of a rough draft written by Frank Lloyd Wright for an article published in The Architectural Record, September, 1936. Untitled, but titled "Apprenticeship Training For The Architect," when published.

At the outset I should say that I believe present ideals and systems of education are exactly wrong where any genuine architecture or the so-called "arts" are an objective.

I need point only to the imitations and sterility that make of America a place wherein you may hardly find one building where in any professional architect was concerned with or manifestly inspired by the country itself or any life in it that might be called indigenous.

Taliesin has rejected nearly all of the tenets that made and would maintain such a condition and is setting up a simple experiment in which volunteers are working away at something so simple as to be amusing to the complex mentality that expects to get enlightenment by way of cerebratious student-information on Beaux Arts training.

For some years past a changing group of about twenty-five Fellows (young men and young women--all volunteers) have made the working group of apprentices to myself at Taliesin. During that time the novice has met, first, neglect, in the hope that the novice might "relax" and so natural perception get a "break". This novitiate soon finds that books and information, as such, have been left behind and all stand in an atmosphere of pretense and hypocrisy on a soil which can nourish only such sincerity of character and purpose as each may possess.

In short previous "education" is only in the way. How inefficient it has left them. All begin again (if they can begin at all) to think of building as an interpretation of life from the ground upward, They cannot avoid the implications of such thinking or get away from its effects. They are here together with me in a way of life and in surroundings that all point in that direction and they are the working comrades of one who has been seeing it through long enough to have some little wisdom from actual experience in getting the principles of an organic architecture into concrete form.

Such, I believe, apprenticeship was in the middle-ages but with this important difference: the apprentice then was his masters slave. At Taliesin he is his master's comrade. He is engaged with him together with others like-minded in the spirit of creation, while up to the present time some ninety young men now practicing architecture around the world have been with me as employees only during the past several ...

Description: Frank Lloyd Wright receives The Gold Metal from The American Institute of Architecture. “The Eighty-First Convention of the American Institute of Architects held at Houston March 15th to 18th, 1949 will long be remembered as the Convention at which Frank Lloyd Wright was awarded The Gold Medal of The Institute, its highest award. It is really a memorable occasion, a long-overdue honor presented to America's most prominent architect, to the man whose works and teaching have had greater effect on the architecture of this country and of other countries than any other living architect. President Douglas W. Orr read this glowing tribute, the Citation:
       "Prometheus brought fire from Olympus and endured the wrath of Zeus for his daring; but his torch lit other fires and men lived more fully by their warmth.
       “To see the beacon fires he has kindled is the greatest reward for one who has stolen fire from the gods.

The theater is to be built this summer on an 8-acre rolling site near Hartford, Conn.
       As was to be expected from Mr. Wright's first real venture into theater design, the plans include many novel features, chief among them the elimination of the customary overhead stagehouse. Sets will be assembled in a scenery dock below the apron-like stage, and moved into place by tracks and dollies up a special ramp. After use they will be returned via a second ramp on the opposite side of the stage to the scenery dock for demounting and storage. The stage itself will be revolving, without proscenium.” Includes one photograph and three illustrations. (Sweeney 780)

(see pages 148 to 154). Original cover price $2.00. (Sweeney 893) Description: "Few realize that the principles of Wright’s "organic architecture" we're actually written in 1894. They were first published an article by Wright in Architectural Record, March 1908, and are republished here, along with his current article. His credo, dated 1894 but difficult to improve upon today, is important background for his criticism of the contemporary architectural scene." That "credo" is reprinted along the top of the pages of the article. The new article "Organic Architecture Looks at Modern Architecture" appears along the bottom two-thirds of the pages. Includes nine photographs as well as a four page fold-out of five illustrations: Guggenheim; Yahara Boat Club, Madison, Wis. 1902; Pavilion at Banff, 1911; Elizabeth Noble Apartment House, Los Angeles 1929; and Arch Obeler House, Los Angeles 1940.

Description: MOMA responds to Frank Lloyd Wright. Mr. Frank Lloyd Wright recently published a statement under the title: In The Cause of Modern Architecture, in which he denounces the International Style of architecture as an "evil crusade" and a manifestation of "totalitarianism." He then goes on to accuse the Museum of  Modern Art of having made a "sinister attempt to betray American Organic Architecture," and offers the Museum's exhibition and book, Built in U.S.A.: Post-War Architecture, as a proof of the Museum's activities as a "professional publicist" for the International Style. This calls for rebuttal and factual clarification. It is self-evident that Mr. Wright speaks as a leading exponent of what he defines as organic architecture. It is therefore worth noting that the Museum, far from betraying Mr. Wright and what he stands for, has always acknowledged him publicly as America's greatest architect. The Museum has held fourteen exhibitions in which Mr. Wright's work was represented... (Sweeney 931) Description: Frank Lloyd Wright and Froebel toys. “F.LL.W. in Knee Pants. The search for influences on the work of Frank Lloyd Wright has now been pushed to the point where the next step may have to be taken by specialists in pre-natal influence. As it is, he has now been traced back to within seven years of this point by Grant Manson, who, writing in the June issue of Architectural Review (950.00), has traced the formative influence of Froebel toys Wright played with from the age of seven. (Froebel was a German educator who evolved the Kindergarten concept and encouraged the direction of play into creative channels through the use of simply-shaped and brightly-colored construction toys.)...” Includes three photographs and four illustrations.

Description: Book Review. The Natural House. By Frank Lloyd Wright. Horizon Press, 1954, $6.50.
       “In this book the master turns his ingenuity to the small house, the economical house. Wright calls it the Usonian Automatic; a newspaper reporter calls it the U-Drive-it house. The book, incidentally, is timed to coincide with the opening by Wright of a New York office for the purpose of pushing his pour-it-yourself scheme. Along with the ingenuity the author dispenses the expected quantity of pronouncements, naturally the same pronouncements long familiar to avid Wright readers (like me). Much of the material is, in fact, taken from earlier writings. There are, however, new portions, particularly those presenting the Usonian Automatic.
       More importantly, the book presents a number of houses, some not previously published, and all carefully chosen to show how the talents are used in the low-cost house. Houses are shown in plan and photograph, and captioned with cost and date...” Includes one photograph and one illustration. (Sweeney 995)

Description: Monona Terrace Project and Wright’s taxes. Wright Makes Peace With Madison. Frank Lloyd Wright will not abandon his native state after all. Following a testimonial dinner in Madison at which he heard glowing accolades of his life and work from an array of distinguished Wisconsin citizens headed by the Governor himself, not to mention a special tribute read by American Institute of Architects Past President Ralph Walker and innumerable messages of esteem from admirers across the country, Mr. Wright decided he had been mistaken when he interpreted a Wisconsin court decision that for tax purposes Taliesin is a business, not an educational institution, as an indication the state did not appreciate his work. The testimonial included presentation to Mr. Wright of a check for $10,000, the sum of contributions from 15 states besides Wisconsin, to help him pay his taxes. There was also a suggestion, loudly cheered by the nearly 400 diners, that a special act of the Legislature be passed to declare Taliesin tax-exempt.
       "What should I say, overwhelmed as I am by the beauty of this testimonial, the finest I have ever received?" asked Mr. Wright. "I never would have known the fine esteem of my fellow citizens, if it had not been for the adverse tax decision...” Includes photograph of Frank Lloyd Wright and two illustrations of the Monona Terrace project.

Description: Drawings By Louis Sullivan. From the Frank Lloyd Wright Collection, Avery Library, Columbia University. Buildings – even those designed by Louis H. Sullivan – are vulnerable to the speculator, the wrecking ball, and the shifting tides of development. Sullivan lived to see many of his buildings destroyed, but his delicate, poetic drawings live on; treasured and preserved as an important part of a great American architectural heritage. The largest collection was acquired in 1965 by Avery Library at Columbia University and first exhibited publicly in January of this year. In these eight pages we present selected drawings from that collection.
       The drawings chosen show one aspect of his architecture that particularly entranced Sullivan-its ornamentation, which became in his hands the ultimate expression of his ideas. Frank Lloyd Wright asked, "Where... was there ever a man who out of himself devised a complete... Includes 20 illustrations by Louis Sullivan. (Sweeney 1655)
