Dining Room, Taliesin II, circa 1917-19. This
photograph was first published in "The
Nature of Materials: 1887 - 1941, The Buildings of
Frank Lloyd
Wright"
Hitchcock, 1942, plate 177. Hitchcock mistakenly dates this photograph at
1911 (pg xvi). One of the many items in the photograph is an Imperial Hotel
Coffee Service. Very similar to a photograph published in
"Architectural Record",
October 1915, page 395, which was the very first published interior of
Taliesin II. Also published in
"Frank Lloyd Wright
Monograph 1907-1913 Volume 3" ill 275 and dated 1911.

Taliesin, Spring Green, Wis. Circa 1922-26.
(Produced by AZO) "The Terra Cotta Figure in the Garden, Frank Lloyd
Wright’s Bungalow, near Spring green, Wis. 0504" Wright originally used a
plaster cast of a sculpture by Richard Bock, "Flowers in the Crannied Wall,"
as a focal point in the courtyard. Recently it was moved under cover toward
the west end of Hill Wing (See:
Wisconsin Magazine of History,
Holzhueter, August 2005). It was also used in the entry of the Dana House.

Picnic at Borglum Rock with apprentices, Summer
1947. Borglum Rock was a lovely wooded terrace some miles away from
Taliesin on a sheer escarpment overlooking a breathtaking ravine.
"During one summer of late the 1930's while Gutzon Borglum was working on
the Mount Rushmore heads, he visited Taliesin and attended one of the
picnics.
They later names the spot
Borglum Rock". Mr. And Mrs. Wright seated. Apprentices include:
Foreground (l-r)
Alan
Lape Davison, Davy (far left);
Ernst Wallfisch (in hat); Donald Brown (third);
Ann
Purcell (far right, violinist and part of the piano quartet from the Dallas
Symphony that summer, which also included Ernst & Lorry Walfish, piano and
viola respectively, and Signa Sandstrom, cello).
It was a tradition of the Wrights when they were
at Taliesin Spring Green, to have a picnic Sunday afternoons.
Apprentices cooked the food, packed it, the dishes and silverware, and
hauled everything to a scenic spot at Taliesin or close by. "Working
with Mr. Wright" Besinger (1937- 55) 1997, Pp 179 (Bob
Brevick and Mansinh Rana also appear in a photo in Besinger).

Taliesin, Spring Green, Blue Loggia Room. This room is the space between the
living room on one end of the house and Wright’s private quarters on the
other. Wright was known for continually changing Taliesin. In
1953 he acquired steel tresses and extended the loggia balcony forward
several feet. On the right is a pair of art glass doors and an
iridescent wall scone (on shelf above), and in the hallway to the left is a
mounted wall scone from the William R. Heath House, Buffalo (1905).

the Living Room: According to
"Quarterly" Fall 2007, page 11,
"During
Wright’s lifetime a large Chinese rug was in the living room... The rug seen
in this photo (bottom right page 11) was designed by Wright in 1957 for the
Max Hoffman residence... While never made for Hoffman, after Wright’s death
(1959) it was manufactured for Mrs. Wright, and she placed it in the living
room. After Mrs. Wright’s death (1985), the Chinese rug was returned to the
living room, but when its condition began to deteriorate, the Hoffman rug
was selected to replace it until a new Chinese rug is purchased or he
original repaired." "The living room with earlier rugs." (Top right
