Description: Larkin Building. A Wright Elephant in Buffalo. White elephants in the shape of office buildings are an anomaly in these days of space shortages, but Buffalo has one. Built for the old Larkin Co. mail-order house, it was one of the first industrial jobs designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. It cost $600,000 to build in 1906, is currently assessed at $224,000.
Ultra-modern in its day, it boasts a washed-air system, double plate-glass windows and doors, metal furniture, fireproofing, acoustical ceiling, and ceiling ducts for heat. One of its treasures was a $65,000 Moller concert organ installed by John D. Larkin.
It served as a department store from 1938 to 1942, when the city took it over for taxes. Now a shattered, broken-windowed, gone-to-seed monument, it has no takers. A $6,000 national advertising program produced nary a nibble, and a $24,000 offer, made before the program started, was withdrawn.

Description: "A Late Frank Lloyd Wright is Complete in Kansas. Wichita State University has a campus whose architectural scope ranges from becolumned 1904 Greek revival (the art department) to flat 1951 brick modern revival (the business-administration college). The psychology laboratory lives in a large wooden structure that might be called granary modern. But Wichita State also has a jewel gracing the greensward. The Frank Lloyd Wright building on its campus, completed last year, is already a place of pilgrimage. ‘Visitors come to it y the hundreds,’ remarked Dean Jackson O. Powell, whose College of Education occupies the building. Bemused by the building himself, Dean Powell says, ‘We actually react to the lovely intimacy it offers. That is still a surprise to us.’ " Includes one photograph of the Juvenile Cultural Study Center (1957 - S.418), Wichita State University. Original cover price $1.25. (Sweeney 1614)

Description: "Gold in the Hills of California. Ordinarily, when a county board of supervisors looks for new quarters, it inclines toward a flat architect. In bold and agreeable contrast, the five elected supervisors of Marin County, California, searching for a county center, first purchased 140 acres of hilly terrain outside of San Rafael, and then, in 1957, invited Frank Lloyd Wright to look it over. Clad in cape and aged splendor, Wright cast his eye over the ground and proclaimed his intention to design ‘a good building that will make the landscape more beautiful..."

Description: American vision. Iconic buildings across the country stand as a testament to the architectural talents of Frank Lloyd Wright, who would have turned 150 this year. Famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright was an American original, if not a mirror of America itself - determined, individualistic and complicated. In his seven-decade career, Wright proved himself both poet and pragmatist, a person of prodigious gifts and radical ideas who's architecture constituted a powerful declaration of his uncompromising vision for American design..." Includes a portrait and four additional photographs of Wright’s work.

Description: "3 Modern Houses. No 1. Owner, Herbert F. Johnson, Jr., Racine. Architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. Frank Lloyd Wright traces the house he designed from Herbert F. Johnson, Jr... straight back to the Indian tepee, which had a fire in the center and a hole in the top to let the smoke out. It is 100 per cent American, drawn practically out of the Wisconsin prairies, for which Mr. Wright has a deep and romantic feeling. It is timeless architecture, standing on its own native nobility, owning nothing on what he calls borrowing from the nobility of little England..." Includes 10 photographs by Gottscho.

Description: Frank Lloyd Wright’s Millard House. Part of a venture into modular housing by the venerable architect, 1923's Millard House (which Wright himself referred to as "La Miniatura a label to describe his fondness for the house) was created from concrete blocks, each featuring a carved cross and square pattern, in a style he believed would lower the cost of home construction while retaining delicacy and beauty. The 4,230-square-toot, four-bedroom, four-bath home-currently on sale through Crosby Doe Associates for $4,195,000-offers a rare opportunity to lay claim to a unique piece of Wright history. The house, located in Pasadena, California, was originally built for book dealer Alice Millard for $17,000. Wright once said, "I would rather have built this little house than St. Peter's in Rome."
Includes two photographs of La Miniatura by Scott Mayoral.
