When the great American architect Frank Lloyd Wright died three years ago, at 89, he left behind hundreds of beautiful drawings of great buildings. But the drawings are valuable for more than their beauty: they sometimes tell us more about Wright’s thought than is apparent in his finished building. Romantic, fanciful, original, daring, occasionally fantastic, they reflect his creative concepts in their purest form... They are part of an exhibition of 275 of his drawings, surveying his work from 1895 to 1959, which will open on Wednesday at he Museum of Modern Art." Includes six illustrations.

	Date: 1978 Publication: New York Times - Aug 27, 1978 (Published by the New York Times) (Note: This article was pasted on the verso of two photographs, the Arthur Davenport and the Heurtley Residences.) Author: Goldberger, Paul Description: Excerpts: "Oak Park, Ill. - The moment a workman comes in here, he takes one look around and says, ‘Oh, this house is one of his, isn’t it?’ Then he groans and lets you know how much more work it’s going to mean for him," said Jeannette Fields, sitting in the living room of her 77-year-old house. Mrs. Fields did not have to say who ‘he’ is - her house was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, who lived in Oak park from 1889 until 1909. In that period and the years just following, Wright designed or altered almost 30 houses here and in neighboring River Forest, where the Field’s house was built originally for Arthur Davenport in 1901... Several Wright houses have sold recently for about $170,000, about 20 to 25 percent more than other homes in the neighborhood... Just a couple of doors down Forest Avenue, (from Wright’s Home & Studio) is one of Wright’s best coherent wholes - the Heurtley House at No. 318, a noble, self-assured mass of reddish brick built for a Chicago banker in 1902. The Heurtley House is now owned by Jack Prost, a biology professor who purchased the house in 1973, three years after moving to Oak Park in the hope of setting in a Wright House. It is one of Wright’s finest prairie houses, as many of his early works were called. It gathers its many rooms under a vast, sprawling hipped roof, with rows of windows, in neat horizontal strips, tucked up near the top and a grand arched entrance." Two Copies.
