No sooner had the nonprofit Taliesin Preservation Commission held a competition last fall to select an architect from [Frank Lloyd Wright]'s successor firm, Taliesin Architects, than it learned it could acquire a Wright building, the Spring Green Restaurant, on the Wisconsin River near Taliesin's entrance.

\"Frank Lloyd Wright worked to make the homes and buildings he designed fit right into the places where they were built, and to be comfortable and livable.\" (DREAM/GIRL MAGAZINE) Learn about \"the life and philosophy of America's most famous architect.\" Examples of his work are described and a short biography is included.

[Frank Lloyd Wright] began creating Taliesin, a collection of nine buildings that served as his school, studio and summer retreat, around the turn of the century. The centerpiece of the estate is Wright's 37,000-square-foot home, which he started building in 1911, and continued perfecting until the 1950's. The house, designed to echo the natural contours of the hill on which it was built, is constructed largely of cypress and local sandstone, and is considered to be one of Wright's masterpieces. Other structures include the Hillside Home School, the Midway Farm, the Romeo and Juliet Windmill and the Tan-y-deri House. The property was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976.
