Title: Greek Orthodox Church, For The Milwaukee Hellenic (Soft Cover) (Published by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, Scottsdale)
Author: Vergis, E. N.; Wright, Frank Lloyd
Description: During December, 1955 the Perish Council selected Frank Lloyd Wright to design their church buildings. According to John Ottenheimer, "I have a strong recollection of the morning in August of 1956, in the drafting room in Wisconsin, when Mr. Wright came in and said, 'There are two things which have been on my mind quite a while which I want to draw this morning.' I put a clean sheet of drafting paper on Mr. Wright’s table, sharpened his wooden pencil with a pocket knife, and Mr. Wright proceeded to draw the original plan and elevation of the Greek church, to scale, with T-square, triangles and compasses. This took about an hour. Of course, he had the design already complete in his mind before he started to draw. At that point he turned his original design drawing over to Jack Howe to lay out a set of more finished drawings at a larger scale which he then would work on to complete the design drawings for a presentation to the Greek community." Frank Lloyd Wright's first drawings of the church were dated August 1956. "New World Odyssey," Gurda, 1986. (NWO) p.58-9. Additional presentation drawings dated September 1956, (NWO) p.60-61. The presentation drawing used on the cover of the booklet are dated 1958 by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, (NWO) p.68-69. The committee accepted preliminary drawings and signed an agreement with Wright on September 8, 1956, and Wright was notified in October, 1956. Additional drawings on pages 2, 4-5, 6, 8-9, 10-11 of the pamphlet are dated 1958 by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, NWO p.79, 81, 82. The purpose of this pamphlet was to promote building the church as well as raise funds for the building. "It is the sacred and loving obligation of every single one of us, now... to contribute generously to the building fund, in order that Mr. Wright’s creation may become a reality..." p.4.

Title: Sacred Spaces. The Houses of Worship Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright (Produced by The Real Shop Productions)
Author: The Real Shop Productions
Description: DVD. "Frank Lloyd Wright has long been regarded as America's greatest architect. Famous for such works as the Guggenheim Museum and Fallingwater, Wright designed over 1,000 buildings during his 70-year career. Sacred Spaces examines his brilliant, but less well-known, houses of worship. Featuring the classical music that Wright most admired, this fascinating documentary showcases all ten religious structures that were created for a wide range of faiths. Wright's uniquely American designs were hugely influential in the field of engineering, and groundbreaking in the way they incorporated natural surroundings. Perhaps the greatest testament to Wright's impact is the fact that active congregations still use each of these structures today...." Original list price $29.95.
