Milwaukee writer Kristine Hansen visits Boswell with her latest book, Frank Lloyd Wright's Illinois, a survey of America's most famous architect's work across the Land of Lincoln, and a follow-up to her book, Frank Lloyd Wright's Wisconsin.
Of Frank Lloyd Wright’s 532 completed projects, the highest concentration worldwide exists in Oak Park, Illinois, where Wright’s home and studio lies. Combining architectural history with human interest, Hansen explores 41 of the nearly 80 Frank Lloyd Wright-designed sites all within four hours of Chicago. Organized by region and covering sites built from 1889 to 1959, Hansen goes in depth about each site's history, from its ownership and commission, to how materials were selected and the natural landscape were used.
Frank Lloyd Wright's Illinois is the perfect travel guide for Wright fans planning a self-guided visit to Illinois or for those wanting to learn more from the comfort of their own home.
