Happy Birthday Frank


                                                 


Our esteemed architect will have a birthday this week, on June 8th.  He would have been 146 years old if he had lived until then as opposed to passing away in 1959 at the age of 91.  Think of the work that he could have done, of buildings he could have designed if he were still alive.  What more could he have taught and shown the world of architecture?  Of course, then he would still be around to argue with us over the size and shape of water features on the Estate and to be arguing with us over what trees and shrubbery should be replanted.  He would probably also be insisting we build the guest cottage and caretakers cottage.  He was definitely an original and one of a kind person and we celebrate his life and his work.

Happy Birthday Frank, wherever you may be!

  1. Well, I think his remains are somewhere at Taliesin West, thanks to Olgivanna, who wouldn't let him rest in peace in Spring Green, WI.
