Conrad and Evelyn Gordon Residence 2000 (1956 - S.419). Designed in 1956 by Frank Lloyd Wright, construction did not begin until 1963. Located in Wilsonville from 1963 until 2001 until it was rescued from destruction and moved to the Oregon Gardens in Silverton, Oregon. The original budget of $25,000, doubled to $56,000 because of construction delays. The 2,100-square-foot Gordon House was completed in 1964 and was based on Wright's "House for a Family of $5-6,000 Income" plan, which was published in a 1938 issue of Life magazine. Photographed before the move. Hand Written on face: "9/15/00, AE Wright, Cordell, 1-13A." Typed on verso: "House/Home - W (Frank Lloyd Wright, Wilsonville)." Stamped on verso: "Dec 1 2000." Original 10 x 8 color photograph. 2000.83.0117

Warren Hickox Residence, Kankakee, Illinois, Table 2000 (1900 - S.056). Table from the Warren Hickox Residence, Kankakee, Illinois. The photograph of this table in the Prairie Avenue Bookstore was taken in 2000 prior to its closing. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1900. Both the Hickox and Bradley houses are considered Wright’s first prairie styled houses. Although the Hickox is smaller than the Bradley, it has many of the same characteristics. Broad overhanging eaves, gabled roof, upturned flanges, stucco and wood trim, dominate horizontal lines, and horizontal bands of leaded glass windows. The angles in the windows mimic the angles of the roof line. Provenance: The Collection of Wilbert & Marilyn Hasbrouck, Chicago, Illinois. This table was the centerpiece at the Prairie Avenue Bookstore in Chicago for many years. Constructed of oak. 64" Square x 28" High.

Charles E. Roberts Residence, Oak Park, Illinois, Roberts Electric Car, Circa 2000 (Not Dated) (1896 - S.040). View of the 1896 Roberts Electric car. Charles E. Roberts was a client of Frank Lloyd Wright's and strong supporter. Wright remodeled his home in 1896 (S.040), and his Stable in 1900 (S.041). One of Robert's inventions was an electric car. According to Jorge Lucendo, "The "Roberts Electric" car was a "'Stanhope" type car. It was equipped with two 60-volt electric motors, each acting on one of the rear wheels. Using both motors could circulate at 20 mph and had a range of 40 miles... The total length was 89 inches and the wheelbase was 54". The car "Roberts Electric", was manufactured and marketed by the 'standard Screw Company" of Chicago, Illinois, between 1896 and 1897." Most enthusiasts recognize that it was way ahead of its time. In 2012, the Chevy Volt got 40 miles to the charge. Photographer unknown. 8 x 8 Color photograph. 2000.98.0623

Edward E. Boynton Residence, Rochester, New York, Circa 2001 (1908 - S.147). Not dated. View of the Boynston Residence from the Northwest. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1908. In 1886 Charles T. and George W. Ham established the C. T. Ham Lantern Co. in Rochester New York. Leonard K. Eaton wrote, "Born in 1857, Edward Boynton was an excellent example of the successful American businessman - salesman. At first a salesman and later a partner in the Ham Lantern Company of Rochester, New York, he remained with the firm after its absorption in 1908 by the giant trust of the lantern industry, the R. E. Dietz Company of Chicago." Two Chicago Architects and Their Clients, 1969, p.112. McArthur was influential in Boynton's... Continue...

Elizabeth and Don C. Duncan, Lisle, Illinois, 2001 (Marshall Erdman Prefab Homes) (1957 - S.407.2). Perspective view of the front of the Duncan Residence, published in the Summer 2008issue of the Frank Lloyd Wright Quarterly. Wright designed three prefab homes for Marshal Erdman and Associates. Nine Prefab #1 homes were completed: Van Tamelen (1956 - S.406); Jackson (1957 - S.407.1); Duncan (1957 - S.407.2); Iber (1957 - S.408); Post (1957 - S.409.1); Cass (1959 - S.409.2); Zaferiou (1961 - S.410); Mollica (1958 - S.411.1); LaFond (1960 - S.411.2). Prefab #2: two homes were constructed. Prefab #3 was never built. Marshall Erdman and Frank Lloyd Wright first discussed the idea of working together on a prefabricated design in 1954. The design is a one-story house, with the addition of a lower level when on a hillside. It included a large living room, dining room, family room and kitchen, four bedrooms and two bath. In the December 1956 issue of House & Home, "Here is prefabrication's biggest news for 1957. Frank Lloyd Wright has at long last built a prefab house and Erdman Homes is putting it on the market for 1957. This is both big news and amazing news. It is big news because it gives prefabrication - once the step child of home building... Continue... 2001.89.0223

Conrad and Evelyn Gordon Residence 2001 (1956 - S.419). Set of 24 - 4 x 6 color photographs. Saved from destruction. The Move. The original 22 acre site that once was home to the Gordon House, was sold by the Gordon's son in September, 2000. The new owners were not interested in the Home, but the property and slated it for destruction, not knowing it was a Wright home. The Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy was notified. Agreements were reached. The interior wood paneling, built-in furniture, doors, cabinets and shelves were carefully removed, packaged and marked to assure an accurate restoration and reassembly. The roof was removed, then the upper story was cut from the lower. The concrete red floor, many of the concrete blocks and interior... Continue...

Frank Lloyd Wright Short Crystal Leerdam Bud Vase, Circa 2001/1929. Short Crystal Emerald Green Bud Vase, created in 1929, adapted from the design for the Leerdam Glassfabrik Company, Holland. In 1929, Wright designed tableware including china, stemware, serving pieces, candlesticks, and vases. According to Phieffer, “Frank Lloyd Wright Monograph” 1924-1936 Volume 5, 1990, page 74, a few designs were executed including a tall hexagonal flower vase in deep emerald green glass. This vase is in the collection at the Museum Boijmans, Van Beuningen, Rotterdam, Netherlands. Height: 30cm (11.8 “). Courtesy of the Museum Boijmans, Rotterdam. 8 x 10 Color photograph. 2001.91.0324

 Frank Lloyd Wright Short Crystal Leerdam Bud Vase, Circa 2001/1929. Tall Crystal Emerald Green Bud Vase, created in 1929, adapted from the design for the Leerdam Glassfabrik Company, Holland. In 1929, Wright designed tableware including china, stemware, serving pieces, candlesticks, and vases. According to Phieffer, “Frank Lloyd Wright Monograph” 1924-1936 Volume 5, 1990, page 74, a few designs were executed including a tall hexagonal flower vase in deep emerald green glass. During our research, we located this photograph on the Bas Van Beek (Rotterdam) wedsite. Their caption reads: “In 1922 Royal Leerdam commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to design a coffee service and vases for the American market. In 1929/29 only one vase was executed but was considered a failure by Mr. Wright because the interior of the vase didn’t line up with the exterior. Something that to this date is still impossible using the pressed glass technique.” Of note: Both the Museum Boijmans (ST#2001.91) and Bas Van Beek (ST#2001.92) indicate that only one vase was produced. This example appears to be much taller and closer to Wright’s original design (S#0228.38). Bas Van Beek does not indicate where this example is located.

Harry S. Adams Residence, 2002 (1913 - S.179). Harry S. Adams was the Chicago manager of Eaton, Crane and Pike, manufacturers of fine writing paper. Wright's first design dated September 4, 1912, was rejected, as was Wright's second proposal dated May 31, 1913. Both were rejected as too elaborate. The third was scaled down and accepted by Adams. Covering the width of almost three Chicago city lots, the Adams House exemplifies Wright's Prairie styled design. Constructed of brick, it includes broad overhanging eves, horizontal rows of windows, and a dominate horizontal line that incorporates the second story window sills and completely encircles the house. The Porte Cochere is on the far left. Just to the right, the Veranda appears to be enclosed. The Living Room is just to the left of the Entrance, the Dining Room is on the right. Bedrooms are on the upper level. This was the final home Wright would design for Oak Park. Set of eight 35mm slides and 14" x 9" high res digital images. Photographed by Douglas M. Steiner in September 2002.

Oscar B. Balch Residence Circa 2002 (1911 - S.168). The Balch Residence was one of Wright's first commission upon his return from Europe. The home is very symmetrical in design, and like the Thomas Gale home, it was designed with a flat roof. There are built-in planters and a walled Terrace in front. Just below the soffit are horizontal bans of windows that dominate the front and back of the home. Frank Lloyd Wright used wood sash bars to create a design within the windows. The entrance is at the rear of the home. There are two upper balconies in front, and originally two in back that were enclosed long ago. Set of five 35mm slides and 14" x 9" high res digital images. Photographed by Douglas M. Steiner in September 2002.

William G. Fricke Home 2002 (1901 S.058). The William G. Fricke Residence was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1901. William G. Fricke was a partner in Weber, Costello, Fricke, a Chicago firm which manufactured and sold school supplies nationwide. Fricke commissioned Wright in 1901 to design his home. He lived in the home for five years until it was purchased by Emma Martin purchased the home in 1906-7. Patrick F. Cannon suggests that "Fricke sold the house because of Financial difficulties. According to divorce records. William Frick left for work on August 10, 1909, and never returned..." Hometown Architect, 2006. Like the Thomas Residence, also 1901 and in Oak Park, it is an all-stucco exterior. But unlike the Thomas Residence which is considered Frank Lloyd Wright's first fully developed prairie styled house in Oak Park, it includes elements of Wright's transitional designs. Broad...

Rollin Furbeck Residence 2002  (1897 - S.044). The Rollin Furbeck Residence was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1897. Warren Furbeck gifted two Wright designed home to his sons, Rollin and George as wedding presents. The transition from Wright's earlier homes with Sullivanesque details, toward his Prairie style is evident in the Furbeck Home. The facade of the upper two floors in the front is similar to the Winslow (1894), Heller 1896) and Husser (1899). But it also has the beginnings of his prairie style. Wright created horizontal bands that ran between the upper sills and soffits. Of particular note is the use of wood trim within the upper horizontal bands. This is possibly the first home to utilize this design element. He also hung trim with square holes, from the center of the soffit. A single horizontal diamond-paned leaded glass window runs the length of two single paned windows. The Furbeck Residence... Continue...

Mary and Edward R. Hills Remodeling 2002 (1900, 1906 - S.051). Taken during a trip to Oak Park in September, 2002. A Victorian home was located one lot South of the Nathan G. Moore Home (1895 - S.034). Moore purchased the home in 1900 and hired Wright to remodel the home as a wedding gift for his daughter and her husband, Mary and Edward R. Hills. Work did not begin until 1906, and at that time, the home was moved one lot South, enabling Moore to expand his back yard. During the move, Wright turned the home 90 degrees. Where the front door originally faced the street (East), it now faced North obscured from view. One of the interesting features is Wright's use of a double-sloped roof, which appears as a flare at the bottom of the roof. Another element is Wright's use of a horizontal line that incorporates the window sills of the upper levels. Within the horizontal band, Wright adds additional wood... Continue...

I don't want you to give us anything like that house you did for Winslow. I don't want to go down back streets to my morning train to avoid being laughed at. I would like something like this," he said, and laid some pictures of English half-timber work on my table... They were delighted with the house, and so was everyone but me." He recounted that he took the work because his "Three children were now running around the streets without proper shows". Pages 125-127.

Ravine Bluffs Architectural Features and Street Lamp 2002 (1915 - S.185.1-3). In 1911, FLW 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.

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 on the other with "Ravine Bluffs" embedded in the face of the concrete.

A back stairway leads to the bedrooms on the third floor. The ground floor was for the house staff. Some of the design features included beaded molding and exquisite leaded glass windows. Photographs from the 1940s show that the stucco surface is covered in shingles. But during the 1975 restoration by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Coleman, the stucco surface was restored.

Benjamin Adelman Residence, 2004 (1953 - S.344). Set of 5 images of the Exterior of the Adelman Residence, photographed in April 26, 2004 by Douglas M. Steiner. The 1957 entrance, originally on the South side of the house (left), has been blocked off and replaced with perforated/glazed blocks. The entry stairs that were on the left, have also been removed. The Entrance has been moved to the right side of the Living Room. Perforated blocks have been added to the fireplace chimney. The 1957 Living Rooms windows and built-in planter box remain intact. Glass corners are mitered. The original Carport is now enclosed. In 1957, Frank Lloyd Wright proposed an addition to the back of the Carport, to be used the 'servant's Room." It appears that the Carport was enclosed instead. Windows were added to the two front corners. The Living Room was extended 10 feet South and two feet East in 1957. Windows were added to the Southeast corner, as well as the built-in planter. Five original 10 x 7.5 color images. For more information on the Adelman Residence see our Wright Study.

Arizona Biltmore Hotel and Cottages 2004 (S.221 & 222 - 1927). Set of 24 images photographed by Douglas M. Steiner on April 26, 2004. Designed in 1927, the Hotel opened on February 23, 1929. Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer provides the best explanation for Frank Lloyd Wright's involvement in the design of the hotel: There will always be a controversy over who indeed was the "architect" for the Arizona Biltmore Hotel. In 1927, Mr. Wright received a telegram from the brothers Warren and Charles McArthur inviting him to come out to Arizona to "...help Albert build the Arizona Biltmore." The three brothers, Warren, Charles and Albert were sons of Warren McArthur, Mr. Wright's friend and one of his first clients in Chicago. Albert had been in the Oak Park Studio as one... Continue...

First Christine Church. Set of 37 photographs. In 1949, Frank Lloyd Wright was commissioned by Peyton Canary, the President of Southwest Christian Seminary in Glendale, AZ, to design the buildings for their 80 acre campus. Dr. Canary cofounded the Seminary in 1947. The campus was to include the administrative buildings, seminar rooms and library, a Greek theater, faculty housing and a chapel. Drawings were completed in 1950 but shelved after the Seminary closed in 1963.  After the Seminary closed, Boice convinced his congregation to approach the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, and they acquired the chapel plans for their churches sanctuary. With the assistance of the Taliesin Associated Architects, under the direction of William Wesley Peters, working plans were generated. Ground was broken in 1971, and the church was completed in 1972. Twenty tons of native Arizona stone, collected from the 600 acres desert surrounding Taliesin West, were utilized for phase one, the construction of the Church building.

Pope-Leighey House 2006. Set of eight photographs of the Pope-Leighey House, by Douglas M. Steiner, April 7, 2006. As you approach the home from the same direction as in 1939, the Carport, it has been positioned on a slope much like the original. Like many of Wright's designs, the entrance is hidden, and is not revealed until you reach the home. The lack of windows on the approach reveals little of the interior of the home. Perforated Light Screens allow soft light into the home, adding a measure of privacy and a decorative design element to the home. The roof of the Carport cantilevers out 8' 6" at the front, is 19' wide, and cantilevers out from the house 15' 6" in the back. The roof was designed with three layers of 2x4's, each...

Prairie Avenue Bookstore, Chicago, Illinois 2009. Bill Hasbrouck, shown in 2009 at Prairie Avenue Bookshop, 418 S. Wabash Ave, Chicago. Setting in the center of the table is a recast head from Interior Fountain at Midway Gardens, Chicago, Illinois. Midway Gardens was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1913, the sculptures were executed by Alfonso Iannelli. Midway Gardens was built in 1914 and demolished in 1929. In 1939, ten years after its destruction, Edgar Tafel, one of Frank Lloyd Wright's apprentices, was supervising the construction of the Lloyd Lewis Residence in Libertyville, Illinois (1939 - S.265). During that time frame, he made the trip to Chicago to visit the site of the demolished Midway Gardens. The elements had exposed fragments, and one was the head from the fountain in the enclosed Winter Garden. Tafel took it back to the Lewis site and designed and fabricated the base in the shape of interlocked cubes, reminiscent of the designs in the Midway Garden Sprites. The Lewises loved what he had done and convinced Tafel to leave it with them, which he later greatly regretted. Recast from the original by Bill Hasbrouck. Bill Hasbrouck of the Prairie Avenue Bookstore in Chicago, a landmark of its own, was visiting the Lewises in the mid 1970s and was so excited about the piece he... Continue... 2009.58.0122
