| Frank Lloyd Wright®
is widely
regarded as the 20th century’s greatest architect. Indeed, the
American Institute of Architects in a recent national survey,
recognized Frank Lloyd Wright to be “the greatest American
architect of all time.” We invite you to learn more about the
heritage of Frank Lloyd Wright in his home state of Wisconsin.
We further hope you will visit the many public Wright buildings
in Wisconsin for an intimate look at his life and work. |
