Courtesy of Period Paper Lincoln Logs Inventor John Lloyd Wright AUGUST 23, 2018 BY MONICA M. SMITH Yes, this popular childhood toy was designed by none other than the son of architect Frank Lloyd Wright! Years ago while conducting research for the Lemelson Center’s Invention at Play exhibition, I was surprised to learn that Lincoln Logs—one of my favorite childhood toys—were designed by John Lloyd Wright, son of world-famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Overshadowed by his father, John has received little attention beyond a brief 1982 biography now available online. And he certainly seemed reticent about telling his own story, instead publicly sharing only a few experiences as part of his short, impressionistic 1946 book about Frank titled My Father Who Is On Earth. https://invention.si.edu/lincoln-logs-inventor-john-lloyd-wright 1/5 8/20/2019 Lincoln Logs Inventor John Lloyd Wright | Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation Left: John Lloyd Wright in Spring Green, Wisconsin, 1921, ICHi-173783. Right: Frank Lloyd Wright with son John Lloyd Wright, undated., i73784. Courtesy of Chicago History Museum Turns out that John was both a successful toy designer and an architect in, dare I say it, his own right. Here is a brief overview of his story, including the origins of those ever-popular Lincoln Logs. Born in 1892, John Kenneth (later changed to Lloyd) Wright was the second of Frank and Catherine Wright’s six children.

  • Historic Walking Tour – East
    5 NAPERVILLE Historic Walking Tour – East 3rd printing, revised Spring 2006 Brief Summary of Naperville’s Past In 1831, Captain Joseph Naper traveled from Ashtabula, Ohio, to the fertile soil of Illinois, approximately 30 miles west of Chicago, near the DuPage River. He brought along several families and individuals as well as plans and provisions for establishing a community. By early 1832, Naper’s Settlement had 180 people dwelling in it, along with a trading house, mills and a school. The following year saw a post office and frame homes erected. Naperville’s early development was possible because a road connecting Chicago and Ottawa, and the Galena Road (now Aurora Avenue), passed through town. Naperville was home to the county seat from 1839 until 1867, when Wheaton contested and gained the rights. Completion of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad through Naperville in 1864 helped spur growth and was responsible for opening the Chicago market to the town’s already flourishing nurseries, breweries and quarries. The railroad also enabled the Naperville Lounge Company (later Kroehler Manufacturing Company) to grow into one of the world’s largest furniture manufacturers. Pioneer settler and real estate developer Morris Sleight once owned much of the land on the east side of Naperville. By the time of his death in 1863, he had amassed a total of 473 acres, which were developed into residential plots. Most homes in this tour are frame, two-story single-family dwellings, though some of masonry can be found. Throughout the area, the Italianate Style predominates. Other architectural styles include Queen Anne, National Folk, Stick, Craftsman, Prairie School, Gothic, and Classical Revival.

  • Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin, Architects of Anthroposophy
    Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin, Architects of Anthroposophy Dr John Paull [email protected] A century ago, on the 23rd of May 1912, the winning design of Canberra was announced. Soon after, two talented Chicago architects set sail for Australia. Their plan for Australia’s national capital, already named Canberra but at the time merely an empty paddock, had won first prize in an international competition which attracted 137 entries. The winning prize money for the design was a modest £1750 (McGregor, 2009). Walter Burley Griffin (1876-1937) and Marion Mahony (1871-1961) were married in the year preceding the win. Marion had nagged Walter to enter the competition, “What’s the use of thinking about a thing like this for ten years if when the time comes you don’t get it done in time!” She pointed out the practicalities: “Perhaps you can design a city in two days but the drawings take time and that falls on me” (Griffin, 1949, volume IV p.294). After the win was announced, Walter declared: “I have planned it not in a way that I expected any government in the world would accept. I have planned an ideal city - a city that meets my ideal of a city of the future” (New York Times, 1912). Marion chronicled events of their life together in a typewritten four- volume memoir of over 1600 pages (Griffin, 1949). Her memoir documents their life together and liberally reproduces personal correspondence between them and their associates. Her unpublished manuscript reveals the intensity with which she and Walter embraced the thoughts of Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) and anthroposophy.

  • 12 Architects That Changed the World 24 JANUARY 2011 77 COMMENTS Inshare100
    12 Architects that Changed the World 24 JANUARY 2011 77 COMMENTS inShare100 From time to time, there is a great artist that changes the way we perceive masterpieces and other people and gives us new emotions. Still, humanity gives birth to visionaries in other domains as well. And architecture is yet another great field where these bright minds create marvels and change perspectives. Some architects are even responsible for creating masterpieces with an emotional impact on people and can change the way we perceive cities and countries. Artists or not, these farsighted architects, were and many continue to be, the masters in redesigning our future. Here are 12 great builders that through their innovation spirit and devotion changed our world. 1. Oscar Niemeyer (b. December 15, 1907) His portrait Oscar Ribeiro de Almeida Niemeyer Soares Filho is considered to be a pioneer in creating new possibilities for using the reinforced concrete just for aesthetical reasons. He started with designing the first state-sponsored skyscraper in the world, for the Brazilian government. It was completed in 1943 and after decades it was recognized as the first example of Brazilian modernism. He was part of the international team that designed the UN headquarters in New York and his conceptual plan was the main source of inspiration for the constructors. His membership in the Brazilian Communist Party limited his chances of working in the United States and got him exiled up until 1985. By the time the exile ended, he designed the main administration buildings in Brasilia, the country’s new capital city.
