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.

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

Hillside Home School II, Spring Green, Wisconsin, 1905-6 (1902 - S.069).
Real Photo Post Card. View of the Hillside Home School from the Southwest.
This may be one of the earliest photographs of the Hillside Home School.
Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1902 and completed in 1903. Postmarked May
4, 1906, this photograph was most likely was taken in 1905-1906 or even a
year earlier. Three students can be seen in front of the building, giving
the building a sense of scale. Ellen
(Nell) and Jane Lloyd Jones, Frank Lloyd Wrights aunts, formed the Hillside
Home School in 1887 and ran it until 1915 when it closed. 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 Aunts drafted him to design a school building for
them, Hillside Home School I, a large shingle styled building. It 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, Ausgefhrte Bauten.) It eventually became part of the
Taliesin Fellowship...

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 |

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.

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

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

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,

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,

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

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

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. 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. Although it is not a four color printing process, it does appears to

Rocky Roost In Lake Mendota." Back: "The Hugh C. Leighton Co.,
Manufacturers, Portland, ME., U.S.A. (#) 15040. Made In Germany." PM
7/29/14. Circa 1909. There seems to be a mix of different processes. The sky
has a definite cyan (blue) halftone dot pattern, used in today's printing
process. But this process appears only in the sky. The rest of the postcard,
including the water in the bottom half, is printed in color using a
cellotype,
photogravure or lithograph process, a
more uneven "dot" process. Under magnification, it appears that the magenta
(red), cyan (blue) and yellow plates most resemble the cellotype process.
The black plate is a very fine photogravure process printed over the three
other colors. Printed in Germany. The Hugh C. Leighton Co. manufactured
postcards from 1906-1909. They merged with Valentine & Sons in 1909. 5.4 x

accrues to the Parks and Play-Grounds Fund. This card is used by Oak Park's
loyal citizens. Copyright 1909, by The Fine Arts Society of Oak Park." In
Bock's autobiography he
writes, "At he time the Unity Temple was being built I was also commissioned
to design a drinking fountain "for man and beast" in Oak Park... 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). The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation
maintains that the fountain was a result of a collaboration by Wright and
Bock, the sculpture on the fountain being by Bock, dating the design to
1903. 5.5 x 3.25. |

light gray dot or photogravure pattern. The grass and trees are printed with

I. This is considered the first building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
Ellen (Nell) and Jane Lloyd Jones, Frank Lloyd Wrights aunts, formed the
Hillside Home School in 1887 and ran it until 1915 when it closed. The
private school accepted students between the ages of seven and seventeen. It
espoused non-conventional teaching methods, and was the first coeducational
school in the nation. After attending the University of Wisconsin, Madison,
Wright headed for Chicago in 1887 and accepted a position as draftsman in

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. In 1902 Wright designed a
second and larger building for his aunts, Hillside Home School II (S.069)

building was demolished in 1950. Text on face: Spring Green, Wis.;

1914. Randolph Henning wrote: "Prominent in this view looking northwest from
the ruins of the lower level is the living room's limestone fireplace, with
the remnants of the kitchen to its left. The open portal in between was
Taliesin's original entry hall." Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin,
Henning, 2011, p.54-55. When Wright published
An Autobiography he wrote
about the tragedy. "Alone. I remained in what was left of Taliesin I, in the
little bedroom back of the undestroyed studio workshop. Working to get work
started on Taliesin II. No one seemed near to me. The gaping black hole left
by fire in the beautiful hillside was no less empty, charred and ugly in my
own life. The tragedy that resulted in the destruction of Taliesin I had
left me in strange plight. From the moment of my return to that devastating
scene of horror I had wanted to see no one and I would see no one but the
workmen. Those nights in the little back room were black, filled with
strange unreasoning terrors. No moon...

Lake Geneva Hotel Circa 1915 (1911 - S.171).
Designed in 1911 as "The Geneva Inn", "The Geneva" opened in August 1912.
Within two years, it changed hands due to financial difficulties. By the end
of 1914 and the beginning of 1915 the name was changed to the "Hotel
Geneva", and it stayed the Hotel Geneva most of its life. Text on face: "

(Gary) Theater Postcard Circa 1915 (1909 - FLLW #0531). Postcard of the Moe
(Gary) Theater in Gary Indiana. Ingwald Moe was a Norwegian immigrant and
contractor with offices in Chicago. In 1897 he married Louisa Schaible of

office on Broadway in Gary. According to Jane Morocco, "Moe played an
important role in developing the city of Gary. He was one of the founders of
the Gary Commercial Club and the chamber of commerce, and also had a major
role in the planning and building of the Gary Gateway. He erected some of
the community's largest buildings, including the bathing pavilion at
Marquette Park, Gary Theater, Post-Tribune Building, Methodist Hospital, and
city hall. He was also proprietor of Gary's first motion picture theater,
located at 766 Broadway. In 1922, under his guidance, construction of Route

Green, Wis." (Published by W. G. Correll, Pub. Spring Green, Wis.) 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. 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.

"Imperial Hotel, Tokyo, Japan" (All in Caps),
1923. View of entrance looking across the pool. This is one of just a few
photographs that include the two taller "Sphere Sculptures" that are set
higher and further back above the entry way
(see Sphere Sculpture note).
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.
They are visible in a number of photographs and drawings in "Frank Lloyd
Wright in Imperial Hotel" Akashi, 1972, pages 170-171, 190-191, 202, 215,
219, 271, 287, 335. 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.

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. The Imperial Hotel stood. A Tribute to
Wright. This set may be the earliest record of the Imperial Hotel as Wright
intended. Some elements recorded in these photo postcards were removed or
over time disappeared. The "Sphere Sculptures" (156.13) vanished almost
immediately. Carpets draped over the balcony ledges. 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". |

Imperial Hotel 1923 (1915 - S.194). View of the Imperial Hotel just after
the earthquake that demolished Tokyo. 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. The opening ceremony for the Imperial Hotel was
taking place on September 1, 1923. At 11:58 am the ceremony was interrupted
by a massive earthquake that destroyed most of Tokyo. The Imperial Hotel
stood. A Tribute to Wright. When the earthquake struck at noon, many
families were cooking over open fires. As building collapsed, many caught on
fire. Of the 134 fires stat were started, only 57 could be extinguished. The
balance of the fires burned for three days. This image shows thick smoke in

Imperial Hotel 1923 (1915 - S.194). View of the Imperial Hotel just after
the earthquake that demolished Tokyo. 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. The opening ceremony for the Imperial Hotel was
taking place on September 1, 1923. At 11:58 am the ceremony was interrupted
by a massive earthquake that destroyed most of Tokyo. The Imperial Hotel
stood. A Tribute to Wright. When the earthquake struck at noon, many
families were cooking over open fires. As building collapsed, many caught on
fire. Of the 134 fires stat were started, only 57 could be extinguished. The
balance of the fires burned for three days. This image shows thick smoke in
the air. This photograph published in "The

Imperial Hotel, Tokyo, Japan.1923.
United States Navy sailors bringing relief supplies into
the Imperial Hotel, Japan. On September 1, 1923 a major
earthquake destroyed Tokyo, Japan. The Imperial Hotel stood. A
tribute to Frank Lloyd Wright. Coordinating with the U.S.
Embassy, U.S. sailors deliver and unload relief supplies at the
Imperial Hotel. Note the glass window leaning against the wall
in the background. The Truscon Steel Co. Of Japan was a major
supplier during construction of the Imperial Hotel. It would
stand to reason that Truscon would also be involved in the
relief effort. An additional photograph of the relief effort is
published in "The Imperial, the First 100 Years", 1990, p. 135.

City National Bank, Mason City Circa 1924 (1909 -
S.155). Real Photo Postcard. View of State Street, Mason City. The City
National Bank Building is on the far right. Accordning to Wright on the
Park, In 1922, after the farm crisis of 1920, the City National Bank closed
its 1910 location and was merged with another local bank. By 1925, four of
the five Mason City banks present in 1920 had failed. The City National Bank
building was sold separately in 1926 and underwent an unsympathetic
remodeling into a new commercial use in that year.
This postcard is
postmarked Oct 13 1924. The sign on the corder of the building reads,
Laird Clothes. This might indicate that either the new owner of the
building leased it to the clothing store, or it was sold in 1924, not 1926.

left, out of the picture, is the sitting room in the private residence. In
1914, the driveway to Taliesin came up from the Southwest and entered
Taliesin from beyond the Porte Cochere. At the time, there was a single
column supporting the roof. Stairs were between the column and the fountain
and are visible in drawings and photographs in Frank Lloyd Wright Select
Houses 2, page 28 and 33. The photograph on page 33 is published in the
Journal of Organic Architecture + Design, page 48, and is identified as
Taliesin II, and dated circa 1915. Fire destroyed Taliesin I on August 15,
1914. Taliesin II was redesigned and construction started soon after. In
April 1925, fire struck Taliesin for the second time and destroyed the
living quarters. Wright rebuilt again, Taliesin III, expanding and enlarging
the Dining and Living Room. Plans for Taliesin III are published in
Frank Lloyd Wright Select Houses 2,
page 44 and show that the single column was replaced with two columns, moved
closer to the fountain, and the stairs removed. This postcard is consistent
with the 1925 plans, but prior to enclosing the Porte Cochere. The stones in
the columns are consistent with the stone today. It is also interesting to
note... Continue... |

Romeo and Juliet Windmill, Spring Green, Circa 1930
(late 1920's-early 1930's) (1896 - S.037). Real Photo Postcard of the Romeo
and Juliet Windmill. Designed in 1896 by Frank Lloyd Wright for his two
aunts Ellen and Jane Lloyd-Jones and the Hillside Home School, it was
completed in 1897. They requested it to stand in harmony with Hillside Home
School I, the building he had designed for them ten years earlier. Wright's
60 foot tall structure functioned as a windmill and a belvedere. The design
combined a diamond-shaped column wedged into an octagonal structure,
symbolizing the embrace of Shakespeare's lovers. "...The reservoir finished,
the Aunts intended to erect a windmill over it. This was decided upon by a
family gathering which the clan usually held to make such decisions
concerning the school or important affairs of their own. Said Aunt Nell,
managerial mind of the school: "Why not a pretty windmill tower in keeping

Lindholm Service Station Circa 1960 (1956 - S. 414). Front: "Intersection
Highway 33 and Cloquet Ave. Cloquet, Minn." Ray W. Lindholm's first contact
with Frank Lloyd Wright was for the design of his home just outside of
Cloquet Minnesota (1952 - S.353). R. W. Lindholm was the president of
Lindholm Oil, Inc., a distributor of petroleum headquartered in Cloquet. The
company owned several gas stations in Minnesota. Lindholm commissioned
Wright again in 1956 to design a service station on Highway 33 in Cloquet.
Wright utilized his earlier Broadacre City service station design, which he
had exhibited as early as 1930. Construction began on April 27, 1958 and
opened on October 31, 1958. The waiting room is in the glass enclosed second
level. It was constructed of concrete block with a terne metal roof. This
was Wright's only service station. Back: "The world famous Master Architect
Frank Lloyd Wright designed this beautiful service station. Only he could
have had the daring and engineering skill to extend a Cantilever Canopy
thirty-two feet out in space with little visible support. Cloquet is proud
to have this copper sheathed masterpiece." Published by Plastichrome by

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.

pre-Prairie style houses Wright designed in an historic style (English
Tudor). 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

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

Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1908. In the April, 1907 issue of
Ladies Home Journal, Frank Lloyd Wright proposed his "Fireproof House
for $5000." Wright adapted this plan in 1908 for the Stockman House. The
house went though a number of different owners, and in 1987, it was put
up for auction, and purchased by the First United Methodist Church next
door for parking. The River City Society was formed to save the house
from destruction. In 1989 the house was moved a couple blocks away to
its present location, remodeled, and in 1992, it was opened to the
public for viewing. Text on verso: Stockman House Exterior, 1992. Moved
from its original site in October, 1989, to its present location, 530

Jiyu Gakuen Girls" School

envelop. The Jiyu Gakuen Girls" School began on April 15th,
1921 with thirty students. 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... Frank Lloyd Wright, Arata Endo." Text reprinted from "Our Life in the

Drawings
For The Guggenheim: A Book of Postcards (Published by Pomegranate
Communications, Inc., Petaluma, CA) Pomegranate Communications "After
setting off a storm of controversy, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum soon
found its place in the pantheon of American architecture. This is a building
no less adventurous than the modern art hung from it's curved walls, and
it's soaring atrium and spiraling ramp splendidly suggests a
twentieth-century temple built to celebrate the arts. A valedictory campaign
pursued by Frank Lloyd Wright during his final decade and a half, the museum
was the culmination of a lifetime of building and a remarkable response to a
number of contemporary aestatic currents. The fifteen pencil sketches and
watercolors in this booklet in this postcard book convey the evolution of
Wright's Manhattan masterpiece." (Back cover) Original list price $7.95. 7 x

Beth Sholom Synagogue, A Book of
Postcards (Published by Pomegranate Comm, Inc., Petaluma, CA) Pomegranate
Comm, Inc. A book of 20 postcards. "Frank Lloyd Wright (American, 1867-1959)
began to work on Beth Sholom late in 1953, after Rabbi Mortimer J. Cohen
persuaded him to except the commission for the only synagogue he ever
designed. The building was to be among the most important of the architect's
late career. The two men establish the fruitful working partnership, and
Wright according to the rabbi a rare honor by identifying him as the
co-author of the project. Together they created a remarkable "Mt. Sinai
wrought in modern material." The synagogue, one of a small group of
religious buildings Wright completed, is his only non-Christian house of
worship. Beth Sholom was dedicated on September 20, 1959, just over five
months after Wright's death." Original list price $8.95. 7 x 4.75 Pp 42 (First Edition) |

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." (Back cover) Original list price $7.95. 7
