Chicago, Illinois 2021 (1913 - S.180). View of the recast
head from the Midway Gardens fountain. Face is turned
slightly to the right. 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

Exterior 2022 (1902 - S.089). Set of 10 exterior photographs
of the Hebert Residence during a trip through Illinois. The
remodeling was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1902.
Although the house is beautifully maintained, almost all of
the changes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright were lost when
the house was restored after a fire in 1959. A few of
Wright's early designs were
remodels.
Kenwood Dining Room (1903), Bassett (1894),
Young (1895),
Roberts (1896),
Waller (1899),

designed it for ease of mobility. Wright also used two radius,

photographs of the William H. Pettit Mortuary Chapel.
Photographed on September 14, 2022 during a visit to
Chicago. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1906. Little has
been written about the Gerts Cottage. Henry-Russell
Hitchcock in In The Nature of Materials, 1942, merely notes
the date, 1906. Grant Manson, Frank Lloyd Wright to 1910,
1958, merely makes reference to it. But Frank Lloyd Wright
thought enough of it that he included it in Ausgefuhrte
Bauten und Entwurfe von Frank Lloyd Wright, 1910, Tafel XLI
(41), including two perspectives and a floor plan. He goes
on to describe it as: "A small inexpensive burial chapel at

George W. Smith Residence, Oak Park, Illinois, 2022/1898
(1896 - S.045). Beautiful recreation of the George W. Smith
Residence as it originally appeared in 1898. “When news
broke on Thursday, December 15, 2022, that the 1898 George
Smith House in Oak Park, Illinois, had been listed for sale,
Conservancy executive director Barbara Gordon immediately
reached out to listing agent, Catherine Cannon, and the
house was then included on our Wright on the Market. Within
days of it being listed, Barbara, Conservancy preservation
programs manager John Waters and Architectural Advisory
Committee member Patrick Mahoney, AIA, met with the realtor
and family to tour the house and discuss its future. While
familiar with the simple, bold exterior forms of the house,
the Conservancy team found inside spaces and details that
equaled the expectations raised by the exterior... John
Waters created a digital model to give some idea of what the
house may have looked like when first built...” A five
minute video can be found on YouTube. Courtesy of John

in the Clifton neighborhood of Cincinnati. We were able to visit
the house on an overcast day near the end of October. In 1952,
Frank Lloyd Wright designed a house for Horace Sturtevant in
Oakland Californica. Like the Boulter Residence, it too was
designed for a hillside. Working drawings were completed, but
the house remained a project. Frank Lloyd Wright resurrected the
design for the Boulter Residence, lengthening the living room by
one - four foot section. It is constructed of concrete block,

When the house was completed in 1956 it included the open
carport. The front door in 1956 was where it is today. To the
right of the front door, a vertical window is sandwiched between
the door jam and the concrete block wall. The window to the left

and on the left at that time were two windows, two feet wide,
placed at 90 degrees, forming a metered glass corner, like the
two outer corners of the living room. Then, the entrance hall
was enclosed by a second four foot wide window, forming a six
foot by six foot enclosed area...

photographs of the Moe Residence. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright
in 1905/1908-9, and most likely the plans were part of the
Evanston Model Housing Project. The exterior walls of the house
are covered in plaster and extends up to the roof line. The
sills match the light color of the stucco. The windows are
trimmed in wood, and trim is also used as a

the porch extending past the covered roof. The walls of the
