More FLW: Taliesin!


"The House" Taliesin

My visit to the AD German Warehouse renewed my interest in Frank Lloyd Wright and therefore, I am happy to describe my most recent Wright experience.

Yesterday a group of design students and I visited Taliesin --Wright’s home/studio and school. This was my first visit and it was a wonderful experience. The site is cared for by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and Taliesin Preservation, Inc. 

According to the Foundations website Taliesin Preservation Inc. was: "created to preserve the buildings, artifacts, landscape, and legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright in Wisconsin. 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.

If you are in or near Spring Green WI. (in the southern portion of the state) I recommend making a visit. Tours of both the "Hillside School" and Wright's "House" and studio run from May to October and are conducted bTaliesin Preservation, Inc. (reservations are recommended). Taliesin is also a school of architecture.
