How can we focus on writing the blog when Westminster is on? Two of our favorite breeds are up for Best in Show!
 
We did an extended tour of Frank Lloyd Wright’s home and architectural school Taliesin, in Spring Green, in the beautiful Driftless district of southern Wisconsin. We saw the school, several smaller houses, the farm buildings, and then the enormous (27,000 square foot) main complex. We’ve seen many Wright houses designed for others, but it was fascinating to see his own home. Ironically the interior was less strictly controlled than what he expected of his clients. Many of the objects Wright collected in Asia are among the furnishings.

​The truss work of the large drafting studio in the school was particularly interesting.

​Then onto Milwaukee, where Laura had to teach her last class of the term.
