This edition of Wright Sites was published more than 20 years ago, yet it was a revelation to a FLW enthusiast. The 66 buildings/structures/rooms detailed are all available for public visits. Not sure if all the information is current but that is easy to confirm online.
All 17 sites that have earned special recognition by the American Institute of Architects as Historic Landmarks are included. Suggested itineraries for trips to Chicago, Los Angeles, Wisconsin and other places can be found at the the end of the site descriptions.
Favorite sites to visit include the Ennis, Freeman and Barnsdale Houses in California; I've been to the Anderton shops on Rodeo Drive. Wright's home in Oak Park is on my bucket list, as are the Robie and Charnley Houses in Chicago and the Dana House in Springfield, Ill.
Falling Water and the other Pittsburgh area Wright buildings are also must-sees for me.
The Hoffman Mercedes Benz showroom on Park Avenue is so close but still not visited; that will be a visit very soon.
Recommended for all Frank Lloyd Wright fans.
