Taliesin

50 miles west of Madison is the village of Spring Green, Wisconsin, and Taliesin, summer home to Frank Lloyd Wright and his studio, farm, and architecture school.

He began building the home in 1911 in the valley settled by his maternal family.

The house was destroyed by fire twice, once in 1914 during a gruesome murder and arson that killed seven people.

At one point, this portion of the house had been used as the barn.

The rebuilt house burned again in 1925, so the current structure is actually the third. This was Wright's bedroom.

The Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture contines to operate at Taliesin.

Wright was 5'8½ tall. Glenn is 6’1”.

Each fall, Wright, the school and his entire entourage moved to the winter home, Taliesin West, near Scottsdale, Arizona. The Architecture School still does.
