Frank Lloyd Wright and His New American Architecture

Paperback (Wisconsin Historical Society Press March 26, 2010) , 1 edition

And perhaps this helped him weather a life beset with both tragedy and triumph.Wright's prolific career spanned more than 70 years, and he created more than 1,100 designs. Author Bob Kann brings readers into the eccentric stories behind some of Wright's landmark buildings. Find out about Wright's Oak Park home, known to locals as "the house with a tree
