100 Years of Taliesin

What better way to celebrate the 100th post on this blog than by picking a 100th anniversary of something? And what better 100th anniversary than that of the great American architect Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin in Wisconsin? 


It was Frank Lloyd Wright who gave us the distinctive Prairie Style architecture and some of the most recognizable pieces of historical architecture. Places such as FallingwaterThe Robie House, The Avery Coonley Estate, and many more. Wright's designs are such that they are universally recognized, even if you are unaware that you're looking at a Wright piece, you know that it belongs to a very specific school of design.

Taliesin was Frank Lloyd Wright's summer home near Spring Green, Wisconsin.
