Fine Arts Building Circa 1901-02. Front: "Chicago. Fine Arts Bldg." On December 24, 1901, the U.S. Government allowed the use of the words "Post Card" or "Postcard" to be printed on the undivided back of privately printed cards. So this card would have been produced most likely in 1901. But the photograph would have been taken earlier. Photographs and Post cards dating between April 1901 through circa 1905 included a large awning on the first floor. This photograph most likely taken between 1897-1900. Image is printed in a tinted "Collotype" process. The front image is enhanced with glitter. Back: "Post Card. Koelling & Klappenbach, Publishers Chicago, Ill. No. 233. Printed in Germany. This side (of post card) is for the address." Postmark December 6, 1905. K&K published post cards during the 1880s through 1906. They published post cards in tinted Collotype in Germany.

Grave of John Keats, Circa 1905. Face: Real photo postcard, printed in blue ink. Hand written or printed in a dark gray ink, "Keats." Verso: "Post Card. This Side For The Address. Place One-Cent Stamp Here (within a box, dotted lines)." Undivided back. Keats was born on October 31, 1795 and died on February 23, 1821 in Rome and was buried in the Protestant Cemetery, Rome. His last request was to be placed under a tombstone bearing no name or date, only the words, "Here lies One whose Name was writ in Water." Joseph Severn and Charles Brown erected the tomb stone. Under the relief of a lyre with broken strings, includes the epitaph, "This Grave contains all that was Mortal of a Young English Poet Who on his Death Bed, in the Bitterness of his Heart at the Malicious Power of his Enemies Desired these Words to be engraven on his Tomb Stone: "Here lies One Whose Name was writ in Water. 24 February 1821." On December 24, 1901, the U.S. Government allowed the use of the words "Post Card" or "Postcard" to be printed on the undivided back of privately printed cards.

Fine Arts Building Circa 1902. Front: "5483. Fine Arts Building Chicago." The trees in the foreground are very similar to the 1901 photograph and look to be just a bit smaller in the 1903-04 postcard. There are no awnings on the Annex Building to the right in 1901, they are visible in 1903-4. The awnings are visible in this postcard. The printing is not clear enough to be able to read the reader board above the door on the left. Frank Lloyd Wright designed three projects in the Fine Arts Building. Browne's Bookstore (1907 - S.141), Thurber Art Galleries (1909 - S.154) and Mori Oriental Art Studio (1914 - S. 181). 3.5 x 5.5. See our Wright Study of Browne's Bookstore 0052.03.1211

Lowell & Agnes Walter Residence, Cedar Rock, Quasqueton, Iowa, Circa 1905 (1945 - S.284). Postcard view of Cedar Rock from the South around 1905, the future site of the Walter Residence. Cedar Rock is a limestone bluff overlooking the Wapsipinicon River. Text on face: "Scenes In and In The Vicinity of Quasqueton, Iowa." Verso: "Post Card." The back is undivided. Postcards with a divided back were permitted on March 1, 1907. Lowell Walter was a successful businessman. Lowell Walter started the Iowa Road Building Company in 1917. That same year he married Agnes Neilsen, and together they built the company. Their company was successful, and they began investing in farmland. Des Moines, where they continued to maintain a winter home, was about two and a half hours from Quasqueton. So, in order to better manage their farms, they decided to build a summer home. They purchased 11.5 acres of land on the Wapsipinicon River, Cedar Rock. In 1942, they contacted Frank Lloyd Wright to design their summer home. In 1944 they sold their business in order to dedicate themselves to their farming enterprise. Plans for their home were completed in 1945, construction began in 1948, they occupied Cedar Rock in 1950. They continued investing, and by 1973, they managed 18 farms totaling 5,000 acres. 5.5 x 3.4 0058.57.1023

Abraham Lincoln Center Circa 1906 (1903 - S.095). Designed for Frank Lloyd Wright uncle, Reverend Jenkin Lloyd Jones. As the All Souls Church outgrew their facility, Reverend Jones wanted a facility that could meet the needs of the community as well as the Church. The design went though many modifications. A perspective view of the first design for "The Lincoln Center" was published in The Architectural Review, June 1900, Spencer, p.72. Floor plans for the ground floor and Auditorium were published on page 71. A revised design for the "Abraham Lincoln Center," Frank Lloyd Wright and Dwight Heald Perkins, Associated Architects, was published in The Chicago Architectural Annual, 1902. Jones was still dissatisfied, and Wright resigned as architect. Perkins also resigned. Elements of Wright's original design remained, but the finished project lost many of Wright's ideas. In 1907, a model of the Abraham Lincoln Center was displayed at an exhibition of Frank Lloyd Wright's work at the Art Institute of Chicago. Text of face: "This Building Is Dedicated to Public Service Honoring the Memory of Abraham Lincoln. Democrat. Bronze Tablet, East Front. Abraham Lincoln Center . N. E.

This post card is not divided on the back. View from the South. Ellen (Nell) and Jane Lloyd Jones, Frank Lloyd Wright's aunts, formed the Hillside Home School in 1887. Wright designed Hillside Home School I in 1892 (1897 - S.001). As the school grew, so did the need for more space. Wright designed Hillside Home School II in 1902, which was completed in 1903. (Plate X, Ausgefuhrte Bauten.) The building was constructed of light rose colored sandstone, heavy oak beams and red roof tiles. The gymnasium/theatre was on the left, two floors of classrooms and offices in the center, and a three story assembly hall on the right. The windows were diamond patterned leaded glass. 5.5 x 3.5 B&W halftone. 0064.15.0515
C 1906
Unity Temple, Oak Park, Illinois, Circa 1906, (1904 - S.096). Designed in 1905, Unity Temple was completed in 1908. Presentation drawings were dated 1906, and many were published in the booklet The New Edifice of Unity Church, 1906. This postcard illustration was published in the booklet. The booklet was published to promote the new building, and one can speculate that it is not unlikely that postcards were also published for the same purpose. Postcards with a divided back were permitted on March 1, 1907. Prior to 1907, the back was slickly for the address. This postcard is undated, but most likely published in 1906. Text: "Unity Church, Oak Park, Illinois." Verso: "Post Card. This Side For Address Only." Note: Prior to Wright's design, it was called "Unity Church." The title Wright used on his drawings was "Unity Temple" and it became known as Unity Temple after that. The title on this postcard was still Unity Church which dates it prior to completion of construction. Hand written on face: "7/10/10. Dear Alice, Your card rec'd and glad to hear from you. Yes the pink twins have made their debut. This is a picture of the peculiar church we told you about. The Bride and Groom are flourishing. Write again. Agnes." P.M. Jul 12, 1910.

Postcards with a divided back were finally permitted on March 1, 1907. 5.5 x 3.5. 0080.44.1219

George Fabyan Villa Windmill Circa 1907 (1907 - S.129). Published by TC Co. Chicago. View of the Windmill at York Center before Fabyan purchased, moved and restored it in 1907, Colonel George Fabyan commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to remodel an existing house, Fabyan Villa, in Geneva, Illinois. The remodel left little trace of the existing home. The villa encompassed approximately 300 acres. The windmill was built in the 1850s and was located in York Center, now part of Lombard Illinois. Over the years, neglect left it in disrepair. Fabyan purchased it in 1914 and moved it to his estate and fully refurbished it. The authentic Dutch windmill stands five stories tall, and was considered one of only a few authentic Dutch windmills in the country. Text of face: "Windmill on Aurora, Elgin & Chicago Railway. 701" Text on divided verso: "This Space for Writing Messages. Post Card. [Place Stamp Here. Domestic One Cent.

The Rookery Building was designed by Burnham and Root in 1888. Wright's offices were located in the building from 1898-1899. Edward C. Waller, a client of Wright's, became manager of the Rookery Building and retained Wright in 1905 to remodel the Entryway and Lobby. Wright removed most of Root's original iron ornamentation and simplified it with geometric designs. He also encased much of Root's elaborate wrought iron finishes with white carved and gilded Carrara marble. He simplified the ironwork design, added large prairie styled urns and designed hanging light fixtures. Verso: "V. O. Hammon Publishing Co, Chicago." Postmarked 1909. Hammon produced card No. 954, N.

Bitter Root Valley, Montana Circa 1908. View of an orchard in the Bitter Root Valley, Montana. Frank Lloyd Wright designed two projects for the Bitter Root Valley Irrigation Company. The Bitter Root Inn (1908), and the Como Orchard Summer Colony, University Heights (1909). They were two separate projects over forty miles apart. Chicago financiers W. I. Moody and Frederick D. Nichols (1906 - S.118) were early developers of the Bitter Root Valley. By 1904 Moody was General Manager of the Muncie Works, producing Iron and Steel as well as operating Natural Gas Wells. Their offices were in the Rookery Building in Chicago. Wright remodeled the Rookery in 1905 (S.113). Moody visited the Bitterroot Valley in 1905. By 1907 they had purchased and sub-divided large sections of the valley into 10 acre parcels for fruit orchard development. They paid $2.50-$15 per acre and resold "apple orchard tracts" at $400-$1,000 per acre. The company quickly became rich. By 1909 three rail lines ran to Missoula, Montana, with a connecting spur to the Bitterroot Valley. Most likely because of Nichols" relationship with Wright and Moody's knowledge of Wright, he was hired to design two developments. Como Orchard Summer Colony (S.144) and the Town of Bitter Root. In February 1909 Wright, Moody and Nichols...  Continue... 0085.52.0422

George A. Lawrence Residence, Galesburg, Illinois Postcard, Circa 1908 (1859-1934). (Seymour). Ralph Fletcher Seymour was artist in residence at Know College, Galesburg, Illinois, in 1937. Seymour etched a series of season greeting cards of the home circa 1937. The Lawrence Residence is a 5,390 square foot home built by George A. Lawrence in 1898 at a cost of $80,000. Built of Colona Sandstone with marble columns, the Lawrence house was the most expensive house built in Galesburg during the 19th century. Lawrence graduated from Knox College in 1875 and became a successful local attorney and banker, and was a longtime trustee of Knox College. His wife Ella (1857 - 1924), was also a Knox graduate, and was one of the founders of the local Daughters of the American Revolution. They had five children, but two passed away in infancy, a son who died at the age of 12, and a daughter that died at the age of 9. Their fifth child, was a daughter, Ella Rebecca Lawrence (1891-1975). Rebecca was on the faculty of Knox College from 1913-16.

Hillside Home School II, 1908 (1902 - S.069). Front: "Hillside Home School, 4 Miles From Spring Green, Wis." (Published by W. J. Graff Jewelry & Music Co., Pub.) View from the Southwest. Three students can be seen in front of the building. Ellen (Nell) and Jane Lloyd Jones, Frank Lloyd Wright's aunts, formed the Hillside Home School in 1887 and ran it until 1915 when it closed.

I showed my design to Frank and asked how he liked it. He looked at it at length with approval, then made a suggestion, took a pencil and poked a square hole through the center shaft, changing it... The only difficulty was that now he began to lay claim to the whole project, and so stated to the committee. Mr. Woodward come to my rescue..." (P90).

After attending the University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wright headed for Chicago in 1887 and accepted a position as draftsman in the architectural firm of Joseph Lyman Silsbee. That year, his Aunt's drafted him to design a school building for them, Hillside Home School I, a large Shingle styled building, reflected the designs of his mentor Silsbee, and in the style of his first project, Unity Chapel, in Spring Green. As the school grew, so did the need for more space. Wright designed Hillside Home School II in 1902, which was completed in 1903. (Plate X, Ausgefuhrte Bauten.) It eventually became part of the Taliesin Fellowship complex. When Wright began the Taliesin Fellowship in 1932, he began restoring and remodeling the building. When magnified, the front side of the paper has a wormy pattern stamped into the surface of the paper. Printed in a single color, black. Postmarked Feb 15, 1917. 5.5 x 3.5. 0132.21.0214

They are not visible in the 1922 postcard, and are not seen in later postcards or images. What remains on the top of the left column are the two spheres that are actually part of he column itself. Each side is different. There was a matching set in the front of the balcony inside the Theatre.

All that is visible in Cary James' "The Imperial Hotel" 1968, are the remnants of the two spheres that are part of he column itself (Plate 10). Both sets were removed, the set at the Entry and the set in the Theatre. One possible explanation is that they were damaged or fell during the earthquake, or because of their height, the fear that they might fall. (See 156.13) Back: "Post Card. Correspondence. Address.

  1923 Real Photo Post Card Set: Wright was commissioned and began designs for the Imperial Hotel in 1915. Construction began in 1917 and on July 4, 1922 the first section of Wright's Imperial Hotel opened. In August 1923 the hotel was complete. On September 1, 1923 a major earthquake destroyed Tokyo.

Interior built-in planters with live plants. In 1925 some of these images were published in the magazine Wendingen, Volume VII, No. 8 and then "The Life Work of the American Architect: Frank Lloyd Wright".

 Rookery Building Lobby 1984 (1905 - S.113). View of the lobby lo0okingh toward the suspended stairway. The Rookery Building was designed by Burnham and Root in 1888. Wright's offices were located in the building from 1898-1899. Edward C. Waller, a client of Wright's, became manager of the Rookery Building and retained Wright in 1905 to remodel the Entryway and Lobby. Wright removed most of Root's original iron ornamentation and simplified it with geometric designs. He also encased much of Root's elaborate wrought iron finishes with white carved and gilded Carrara marble. He simplified the ironwork design, added large prairie styled urns and designed hanging light fixtures. Restoration removed a stairway leading from the ground floor to the second floor which was just to the right of the suspended stairs.

According to Wright, the house was built for a man who did not want to shock his neighbors, so it does not demonstrate the level of design innovations Wright had already achieved.  (Published exclusively for the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio Foundation, 951 Chicago Avenue, Oak Park, Illinois 60302)  FLLW-7 #761424  (Pub.

By H. K.

Life Photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt. Alfred Eisenstaedt writes in Time Magazine (June 11, 1956, page 17) and Modern Photography that "I shall always remember my assignment to photograph Frank Lloyd Wright. It was done under such rushed, almost impossible conditions." He had just photographed Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer and Dr. Jacques Maritain in Princeton, N.J. early in the day. He rushed back to his office. Caught a plane to Madison arriving a midnight. Had a few hours of sleep, and rushed to Taliesin to photograph Wright the next day. He was only at Taliesin for two hours. All were shot within 45 minutes and with three rolls of film. This is just one of the many images photographed that day. An in depth article describing his photo shoot at Taliesin is published in Modern Photography, September 1957, pages 52-57, 110-112. 4.25 x 6. 1990.49.0706

While working on the Imperial Hotel (1915-1923 - S.194), Frank Lloyd Wright was contacted by Mr. And Mrs. Hani. "This little school building was designed for the Jiyu-Gakuen - in the same spirit implied by the name of the school - a free spirit. It was intended to be simple happy place for happy children - unpretentious - genuine. It is built in no certified style. It has style all its own. Whether one likes or dislikes it, the style is harmoniously founded on right principles... The architects have felt this in working out this design with Mr. And Mrs. Hani, and are happy to see the building carrying its children as a tree carries its blossoms. The children seem to belong to the building in quite the same way as the flowers belong to the tree, and the building belongs to them as the tree belongs to its flowers...

The Architect's Vision: A Book of Postcards (Published by Pomegranate Communications, Inc., Petaluma, CA) Pomegranate Communications. First published in 2009. "A preliminary chat, a small scale model, an AutoCAD rendering-all can render the architect's vision, but a pencil drawing that sets the imagined building against sky and land and trees communicates scale and setting as no other medium can. Frank Lloyd Wright (American, 1867-1959) began his career as a draftsman in the office of Joseph Lyman Silsbee, then that of Louis Henri Sullivan-both architects produced magisterial drawings themselves, and Wright always employed skilled draftsmen in his own practice. Much influenced by German fin-de-sicle renderings and Japanese prints, the thirty drawings in this collection show us buildings that never got off the drafting table as well as masterpieces that have recently been lovingly restored to their original glory."
