Description: Original two piece Dining Room table for the Benjamin Adelman House. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1951. Wright designed a laundry facility and three homes for Benjamin Adelman, and a home (two schemes) for his son, Albert Adelman. Wright's first project for Benjamin Adelman was a commercial building for his laundry and dry-cleaning business in Milwaukee in 1945. It remained a project. One year later, 1946, Benjamin's son Albert, approached Wright about designing a home for him on a lot he owned in Fox Point, Wisconsin. Scheme #1 remained a project, but Scheme #2, 1948, was completed. That same year, 1948, Wright designed a beautiful home on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan in Fox Point, Wisconsin for Benjamin Adelman. The design remained a project. In 1951, Wright designed a second home for Benjamin Adelmen in Phoenix. This home was completed and is considered to be the first Usonian Automatic House designed by Wright. In 1954 Wright designed a second home for Benjamin Adelman in Fox point, but it too remained a project.        Although the Benjamin Adelman was the first Usonian Automatic House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, it was not the first to be built. In 1952, one year after designing the Adelman house, Wright design the second Usonian Automatic for Arthur Pieper, an apprentice, who also became his son-in-law on June 18, 1954. Pieper built his home in early 1952.        Designed in 1951, the home was not built until 1953. Benjamin Adelman purchased a lot and a half from Jorgine Boomer. Construction on the Adelman House began in 1953, and was most likely completed in late 1953 or early 1954. Shortly after the house was completed Maynard Parker photographed the house, and this dining room table was prominently featured. At the same time, Parker also photographed a Living Room coffee table of the same design.        Like other Dining Room tables from Wright’s Usonian period, the dining room table was modular in style. Sections could be moved and used as separate tables. Others included the Shavin 1950, Harold Price (Arizona) 1954, and Gordon 1956. It is also similar in design to other wright tables. The Tracy dining room table is similar, but is a single piece (1955). The table is constructed of Mahogany plywood. Acquired from Toomey Galleries, Oak Park. See additional Wright furniture... Size: The top of the tables are 32" square and 2.5" deep. The height of the table is 27." The legs are 8" wide and turned 45 degrees. 8" up from the bottom of the legs is a 12" x 12" shelf that intersects all four legs at the corners. S#: 1987.126.0521             Date: Circa 1953-54 Title: 1) Benjamin Adelman Residence Set of 15 photographs, circa 1953-54 (1951 - S.344). Description: Although the Benjamin Adelman was the first Usonian Automatic House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, it was not the first to be built. In 1952, one year after designing the Adelman house, Wright design the second Usonian Automatic for Arthur Pieper, an apprentice, who also became his son-in-law on June 18, 1954. Pieper built his home in early 1952. Designed in 1951, the home was not built until 1953. Benjamin Adelman purchased a lot and a half from Jorgine Boomer. "For the consideration of Ten Dollars, and other valuable considerations, I, Jorgine Boomer, a widow, do hereby convey to Benjamin E. Adelman and Regina B. Adelman, his wife..." Warranty Deed, March 30, 1953. This set of 15 photographs were taken after the home was completed and landscaped, and most likely in late 1953 or early 1954.

Shelves and cabinets are built-in. Glazed perforated blocks offer an abundance of light to the workspace. The Dining Room and Terrace are through the doorway on the right. There are no seams along the outside edges of the ceiling, which appears to indicate that the ceiling may have been poured over the pattered blocks. Much like the concept Wright used at Taliesin West. Forms were created, desert rock was placed into the forms, then concrete poured into the forms, creating a solid mass. This was also used in the Boomer Residence just next door. In this case it would appear that Wright built the walls, then created forms for the ceilings, placed the 1 foot by 2 foot blocks, then poured concrete, creating a single slab. Wright also added concrete "beams" for strength. The Adelman House was the first Usonian Automatic house, and there were issues with the ceilings. Wright devised a different concept for the other Usonian Automatic homes that were built. Photographed by Maynard Parker. For more information on the Adelman Residence see our Wright study.

Benjamin Adelman purchased a lot and a half from Jorgine Boomer. "For the consideration of Ten Dollars, and other valuable considerations, I, Jorgine Boomer, a widow, do hereby convey to Benjamin E. Adelman and Regina B. Adelman, his wife..." Warranty Deed, March 30, 1953. The Adelman residence is considered to be the first Usonian Automatic House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. In 1936, Wright developed a series of homes he called Usonian. He continued to develop the concept, and in the early 1950s he first used the term Usonian Automatic to describe a Usonian style house made of inexpensive concrete blocks. The modular blocks could be assembled in a variety of ways. A precursor to the Usonian Automatic system were the four Textile Block homes in California, Millard (La Miniatura) S.214, Storer S.215, Freeman S.216, and the Ennis S.217. The basic concrete block of the Usonian Automatic system is 12 x 24 inches, and comes in a variety of styles: plain for the walls; coffered, creating a waffle pattern; perforated, with and without glass. In 1957, Adelman commissioned Wright again to enlarge his cottage. The Living Room was expanded to the South and East, with a planting box on the Southeast Corner. The Master Bedroom was expanded to the South, and the Master Bath was enlarged and expanded to the West. Blocks were placed next to and on top of each other. The edges, when place together formed a 1.5" tube. Rebar rods were centered in the tube, and concrete poured to fill the tube. Providence: Acquired from a private collection that originally acquired the block fragment in 1975. Size: 8.5" wide x 7.25" tall x 3.4" deep.

Although the trim follows a two foot square pattern. The pottery on the shelves is the same as the 1953-54 image #12, but rearranged. Besides documenting the fireplace, this image reveals its original details and colors. The walls are painted a light pink, What Wright called "Desert Rose." The chair seats and backs are a red vinyl. A clue to the paneled ceiling could be a note written on the plans for the 1957 remodel. "Note: Cover all inside faces of all exterior walls and ceilings with 3/8" waterproof finish plywood, veneered on exposed face with ribbor-striped Philippine mahogany..."

Fifty years of growth had created a dense forest. The home is anchored to the desert with walls that are constructed of natural red desert stone set in concrete, in the nature of Taliesin West. The concrete walls of the Sitting Room and Work Space slant inward, while the Balcony walls slant outward. Perforated light screens top the walls of the Dining and Work Space, adding a measure of privacy.

Host to emperors, rajahs, potentates, and plutocrats—not to mention every US president since Grover Cleveland—its name has become synonymous with the epitome of glamour, luxury, and sophistication. The name Waldorf Astoria applied to two different but equally magnificent hotels. The first was the connecting Hotel Waldorf and Astoria Hotel operating at the corner of Fifth Avenue and West Thirty-third Street. It was a Gilded Age pleasure dome created by the Astor family for New York’s social elite. The second and present Waldorf Astoria on Park Avenue is the ultimate expression of Gotham’s Jazz Age extravagance. Vintage photographs herein record the architecture, decoration, and history of these two extraordinary establishments as well as the outsized personalities who created and dwelt within them.

Description: As a result of his work on the Arizona Biltmore, in April, 1928, Alexander J. Chandler (1859-1950), one of the Phoenix area's successful developers, commissioned Wright to design ‘San Marcos in the Desert". By May he had a design for the resort in mind. The site for the resort consisted of 1,400 acres, located south of Phoenix at the base of the Salt River Mountains. Chandler approved of Wright's proposal, and in January 1929, Wright built a temporary camp on a low mound south of the site for San Marcos. Built near Chandler, Arizona, he called the camp "Ocatilla" after the giant desert shrub that grew in the area. He designed his temporary encampment with low board walls and angled enclosures. He went as far as constructing a full-scale sample of the textile blocks he envisioned for the resort. He completed the working drawings for the resort by late May, and left for Taliesin. In June, much of the camp was destroyed by fire. The stock market crash in October, and whatever hope of completion vanished. What remained of the camp gradually fell into ruin, slowly consumed by the desert and vanished with the project. Photograph taken between March and May, 1929. Size: 8 x 3.25 B&W photograph.

The fire had erupted just one year after the building's completion. But the complete obliteration of this remarkable structure was avoided by way of an astounding archive of letters between Wright (American, 1867-1959) and his client, artist Rose Pauson... more than fifty previously unpublished letters written between 1938 and 1943—alongside rare site photographs and Wright's architectural drawings—chronicle the design and construction of one of Wright's most creative houses."
