TALIESIN FELLOWSHIP COMPLEX 2016

HILLSIDE HOME SCHOOL DRAFTING STUDIO

HILLSIDE HOME SCHOOL

Taliesin Fellowship Complex, Spring Green, 2016 (1932 - S.228). Set of 35 original photographs. On a trip from Chicago to Seattle with my son-in-law, we stopped to tour Taliesin. After touring Taliesin, we headed to the Taliesin Fellowship Complex. Frank Lloyd Wright designed Hillside Home School II in 1902 for his two Aunts. The building was constructed of light rose colored sandstone, heavy oak beams and red roof tiles. When the Hillside Home School closed in 1915, it fell into disrepair. When Wright began the Taliesin Fellowship in 1932, it became part of the Taliesin Fellowship Complex. Wright converted the original gymnasium into a theater in 1933. In the Spring of 1952, a fire devastated the Theater on the west end of the facility and the two story section in the center of the complex. Wright took the opportunity to make changes. He completely changed the Theatre that was destroyed, retaining the masonry walls, but lowering the height of the roof. He lowered the center section, lowering it to a single story. He also extended the lower level of the assembly hall to the south.

In an effort to expedite adding these photographs to this website, we have dispensed with a description for each photograph. Set of 35 original high res 20 x 13.5 digital images photographed June 10, 2016. Copyright 2016, Douglas M. Steiner.
