consisted of meeting and class rooms. Both Unity Temple and Unity House are
lit mainly from the top through large skylights, filtered through art glass.
The walls are poured concrete, Wright’s first use of the material. Of note
are the six chairs in this photograph. Four matching chairs in the center,
two matching chairs on the left and right. Variations of the slant back
chair appeared in buildings during this time period. Unity Temple, the
Larkin Building, 1903 (Quinan,
p83), Wright’s Home (Circa 1904,
Hanks, p38), and Robie House in
1916 (Hoffman p81). The two matching chairs, left and right, originated with
the Browne’s Bookstore. Designed by Wright for
Browne’s Bookstore in 1907, they moved from the seventh floor to the first
floor in September 1911, and were donated to Unity Temple shortly after
that. Photographed in June 1967 by Philip Turner. Courtesy of The Library of

Design for the Vigo
Sundt House (Project 1941). Caption on verso: "Frank Lloyd Wright used the Hexagon
in his design of the Vigo Sundt House in Madison, Wis. This utilization of
geometry in 1941 was because Wright believed 60-degree angles were 'more
suited' to humans." Stamped n Verso: "Sep 24 1967." The first home Wright
designed and built utilizing the hexagonal "honeycomb" design was the Hanna
Residence (S.235 1936). This was a year after Fallingwater, the same year
Wright designed the Herbert Jacobs Residence, his first Usonian home, and
the S.C. Johnson & Son Administration Building. Other homes utilizing the
hexagon design included the Sidney Bazett Residence (S.259 1939), the
Stevens Residence (Auldbrass, S.256 1940), and the Stuart Richardson
Residence (S.282 1940). Others were designed, but were never completed. This
home is very similar to the Richardson Residence. Obtained from the archives
of the Chicago Sun-Times. Original B&W 8 x 10 print. |

Mrs. Thomas Gale
Residence (1904 S.098) 1969. Stamped on verso: "Daily News, Jun 12 1969.
Article on verso: "By Susan Root. Living in a Frank Lloyd Wright house
these days requires a little suffering for the sake of art. But many
feel the experience is worth it. ¶ Among them is Chicago architect
Howard A. Rosenwinkel, who lives with his wife and four children in a
home at 6 Elizabeth Court, Oak Park, that has been called "Wright’s
solution to the small house." ¶ Some of the sacrifices they are making
to maintain architectural "purity" include living with sloping floors
and settled window panels of lovely leaded glass that leave a
quarter-inch opening for winter winds to whistle through. ¶ Then there
are the radiators hidden behind grates that look attractive but five
little heat in the living room, a single bathroom for a family of six
and total lack of insulation. ¶ What makes it worth it is the
architect’s pleasure in living in a house of such prefect scale and
proportions. ¶ "The flow of space and the detailing in this house are
unique." explains Mrs. Rosenwinkel. Acquired from the archives of the
Chicago Daily News. Original 10 x 8 B&W print. |

Scoville Park
Fountain, Oak Park (1903 S.094) 1969. Originally constructed in 1909. In
1969 the badly deteriorated original fountain was reconstructed and the
replica placed in the southeast corner of Scoville Park at the corner of
Oak Park Drive and Lake Street in Oak Park. Caption reads "World
Horizons - Advance for AMS Sunday, 8/17/69. To go with UPI Dispatch by
Barney Seibert. 8/16/69 - Oak Park, ILL.: This is the reconditioned
horse trough made into a fountain and dedicated on 6/8 in honor of
architect Frank Lloyd Wright on what folks in the old home own thought
was the 100th anniversary of his birth. The long-delayed
tribute also happened to coincide with the year of Oak Park’s
centennial. But the date of his birth is subject to argument. He might
have shaved two years from his age around 1920. UPI Telephoto -hgr-. 7 x
