Loving Frank...

Our morning began at Frank Lloyd Wright's personal home, Taliesin.  America's premier architect and Wisconsin's native son considered Spring Green his home, and he built and created an environment both beautiful and inspirational.  We have been to a few Wright creations and this one was highly anticipated.

Our Highlights Tour allowed us to experience the interiors of two significant, yet distinctly different Wright-designed buildings, Hillside (1886) and Taliesin (1911). I chose this tour because history and masterful design of two architectural landmarks are combined into one two-hour tour.


This tour was a rich overview of the Taliesin property's finest architectural jewels, beginning with Hillside's expansive Assembly Hall, the Fellowship Dining Room, the 5,000 sq. ft. 'abstract forest' Drafting Studio, and the Theater, followed by a drive across the estate to his home where we explored Wright's personal Studio, the Living Room, his Guest Bedroom, and the Blue Loggia. This interesting and informative tour covered spaces designed by Wright in 1902, 1911, 1932, and 1952 and kept us captivated by his forward thinking and true architectural genius!

 
A great architect is not made by way of a brain nearly so much
as he is made by way of a cultivated, enriched heart. -Frank Lloyd Wright
