Author: Gordon, Elizabeth	Author: Anonymous	Author: Anonymous	Author: Anonymous

Description: “One Man’s House. We give much lip service to two architectural principles: That a man’s house should be a personal expression and that it should take its place naturally in the landscape. Frank Lloyd Wright’s winter home and workshop in Arizona really does both. The result is beautiful, exciting and very hard to explain.” All photographs by Maynard Parker. Includes 31 photographs. Original cover price 35c. (Sweeney 661)	Description: 1) “The most influential design source of the last 50 years.” “The effect of any genius is seldom seen in his own time. But the case of Frank Lloyd Wright is different...” Includes portrait by Yousuf Karsh. Original cover price 35c. (Sweeney 670)	Description: 2) “What inspired House Beautiful? Like most institutions that outlive their originators, House Beautiful was stared as a crusade. Our birth was influenced by six widely-reprinted sermon-essays entitled ‘The House Beautiful,’ written by William C. Gannett in 1895, and printed in 1896 in a deluxe, edition designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.” Includes two photographs by Fred Lerner of the cover and inside spread of The House Beautiful. Original cover price 35c.	Description: 3) “America Did it First. Frank Lloyd Wright designed this house in 1903. Opposite you’ll see its influence on Modern today...” The caption reads “Home of Mr. And Mrs. T.H. Goodspeed, Grand Rapids, Michigan”. Wright claimed this home as one of his designed, the David M. Amberg House (1909). Amberg was Meyer May's father-in-law. In Storrer’s early editions he lists it as S.166. A design for the Amberg House was published in the Western Architect of October 1913 under Von Holst's name, with Marion M. Griffin listed as Associate.
