Here's a little tribute to our next book-- including some facts about Frank Lloyd Wright.
FLW promoted organic architecture, which is said to be most evident in the house, Fallingwaters in Pennsylvania.
Taliesin, the name of FLW and Mamah's home in Spring Green, WI, means "radiant brow" or "shining brow" in Welch.
FLW was born June 8, 1867 in Richland Center, Wisconsin. And he passed away April 9, 1959.
FLW was originally named Frank Lincoln Wright and changed his middle name to Lloyd after his parents' divorce. He chose the name Lloyd after his mothers Welch immigrant heritage.
FLW designed the Guggenheim in NYC.
Here's a New York Times review of the book, Loving Frank.

Is there a pic of the home FLW designed for Mamah and Edwin? Can you imagine living in the home designed by your wife's lover?
I'm definitely partial to Fallingwater, only because I went last year to see it - they truly are amazing.
