1) Recast Head from Interior Fountain at Midway Gardens, 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 by Bill Hasbrouck.

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.
