As reported by WSJ, a 300-mile road trip covers many of the architect’s key masterpieces:
In a life that stretched from the Civil War to the Space Age, Frank Lloyd Wright designed buildings of every size and function, from New York to Hollywood and back again. Tracking his seven-decade career, which utterly changed American architecture, could fill a lifetime of vacations. But a 300-mile road trip through the upper Midwest can give travelers a distilled impression of the work and the man. The place to start is about 40 miles west of Madison, Wis., just outside the town of Spring Green, in the rolling hills settled by Wright’s Welsh ancestors. Wright was born not far from here in 1867, in a town called Richland Center. At age 19, Wright helped to design Spring Green’s russet shingle church adjoining the cemetery where many members of his maternal family, the Lloyd Joneses, lie. Unity Chapel, admired by Wright’s followers as his first building, still holds services. – from WSJ
