Title: Sherman Booth Floor Clock Adapted From the Booth Floor Lamp 2003 (1915 - S.187).
Description: In 1908, Frank Lloyd Wright exhibited over two hundred Japanese prints in an extensive exhibition of Japanese Colour Prints from March 5-25, 1908 at The Art Institute of Chicago, titled "A Loan Exhibition of Japanese Colour Prints". Wright designed the exhibition installation for the Art Institute. Included with the designs for the exhibition was a Japanese Print Easel or Stand. The Wright designed Print Stand consisted of a tall vertical frame that intersected the base, and floated above the surface it was placed on. The low base was designed to hold a small vase for flower arrangements or other decorative items. The overall design was very consistent with Wright's prairie style. Photographs of Taliesin from 1911 and a show at The Art Institute of Chicago from 1911 show a much taller floor model of the print stand. In 1915, Frank Lloyd Wright designed the Sherman Booth Residence and adapted the print stand design as a floor lamp. In 2003, The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation adapted the design again, creating the Sherman Booth Floor Clock. The clock is Bulova Quartz. Constructed of solid alder and veneer. Original list price $275.00.

Title: Ravine Bluffs Architectural Features and Street Lamp 2002 (1915 - S.185.1-3).
Description: In 1911, Frank Lloyd Wright was commissioned by Sherman Booth to design a suburban development in Glencoe, Illinois, the Ravine Bluffs Development. Sherman Booth was Frank Lloyd Wright's attorney at that time. The project included both public and private buildings. The town Hall, an art gallery, as-well-as the infrastructure for the community. Of all the structures that were designed, the Ravine Bluffs Sculptures and Bridge, a train station, Sherman Booths Residence and six additional Houses were completed. The wait-station was demolished in the mid-1950s. There are three Ravine Bluffs Sculptures, all basically the same design. Geometric in design, there is a large circular vase on one end, a tall pedestal street lamp on the other with "Ravine Bluffs" embedded in the face of the concrete. Note: Lamp is missing. S.185.1 is at the west end of Sylvan Road; S.185.2 is at Franklin Road and Meadow; and S.185.3 is at the east end of Sylvan Road. Photographed by Douglas M. Steiner in September, 2002.
