Introduction The Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) was started in 1933 as one of the New Deal make-work programs, to employ jobless architects, draftspeople, and photographers. Its purpose is to document the nation’s architectural heritage, especially those buildings that are in danger of ruin or deliberate destruction. Today, the HABS is part of the National Park Service and its repository is in the Library of Congress, much of which is available online at loc.gov. Of the tens of thousands HABS buildings, I found 44 Frank Lloyd Wright designs that have been digitized. Each HABS survey includes photographs and/or drawings and/or a report. I’ve included here what the Library of Congress had–sometimes all three, sometimes two of the three, and sometimes just one. There might be a single photo or drawing, or, such as in the case of Florida Southern College (in volume two), over a hundred.

Mostly ithas come from the East, witharchitects and influences from Philadelphia, Boston, and New Yorktaking the lead. 1 The influence of the Midwest, too, however, has been long-standing but less well-acknowledged. 2 This stew of influences had a particularly profound effect upon the city's built envi- ronment at the turn of the century, as Pittsburgh sought to grow into its new identity as a major industrial city. The general populace remained substantially ill- served by architects and architecture throughout this period. But the burgeoning city demanded new or expanded public facilities and institutions. Business and industry required new species ofcommercial and industrialists, HGeorge Grant Elmslie, industrial buildings.

These new-found needs signaled new-found opportunities for architects. The architecture of turn-of-the-century Pittsburgh had moments of clarity and invention; but mostly itwas a rather ponderous and conservative affair, based on the proliferation of established manners and revival styles. H.H. Richardson (of Boston), the preeminent figure in late nineteenth-century American architecture, had the genius tobring allof these qualities together inhis "Richardsonian Romanesque" Allegheny County Martin Aurand is Architecture Librarian at Carnegie Mellon University and Archivist of Carnegie Mellon's Architecture Archives.

  • New Book Sheds Light on Hyde Park Homes by Daschell M
    New book sheds light on Hyde Park homes By Daschell M. Phillips August 14, 2013 In Hyde Park, the only subject people discuss with more enthusiasm than its notable residents is its architectural heritage. From stately mansions to sleek modern designs, they are a reflection of the diversity of the residents in the neighborhood. In her book “Chicago’s Historic Hyde Park,” Susan O’Connor Davis shares photos and stories of the people who lived in these legendary houses over a 150- year period, from the area’s earliest days to today. Davis is an independent scholar and a founding member of the nonprofit Kenwood Improvement Association. After working in the design industry for nearly 20 years, she now serves on the board of governors at the Smart Museum of Art at the University of Chicago. Davis said it was rumors about the property that she and her husband purchased on the 4800 block of Greenwood Avenue that inspired her to begin working on the book. “Urban legend has it that the old house on this lot was torn down in error during the Urban Renewal period,” said Davis, who added that the house on a similar lot one block over on Ellis Avenue was also torn down around the same time. “My husband and I searched for information on the old house while excavating for the new house but didn’t find anything.” However, each spring the legend became more convincing when the soil around their home loosened up and items from the old house such as plates, hinges and bathroom tiles resurfaced, “as if to say, don’t forget I was here,” Davis said.

  • Frank Lloyd Wright Buildings Designated and Proposed As NHLS
    FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT BUILDINGS DESIGNATED AS NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARKS AND PROPOSED FOR NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK CONSIDERATION Frank Lloyd Wright (FLW) worked on well over one thousand projects. Of these projects, an estimated 430 were seen to completion (not including work that may have been done on projects with other principal architects), and a vast majority of these are still standing.1 There has always been interest in National Historic Landmark (NHL) designation for the FLW designed buildings that remain standing today. Because of his stature in the architectural world, many owners of an FLW building believe that their property is worthy of NHL designation and they contact the NHL Program on a regular basis inquiring about the process for designating their property. To understand FLW’s work and to help NHL Program staff make sound decisions about whether FLW properties might be good candidates for NHL nomination, the NHL Program invited several FLW scholars to review the architect’s body of work. In 1998, the NHL Program asked Dr. Paul E. Sprague, Dr. Paul S. Kruty, and Mr. Randolph C. Henning, if they would undertake the task of reviewing and prioritizing FLW’s built commissions (of which approximately one in five has been lost according to the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy) and assemble a list of those extant properties that are worthy of NHL consideration. The scholars compiled a list of fifty-six FLW properties that they believed should be considered for NHL designation. The Secretary of the Interior has already designated twenty-six of these properties as NHLs.

    THE JESSIE AND WILLIAM ADAMS HOUSE 9326 South Pleasant Avenue Chicago, Illinois Preliminary Staff Summary of Information Submitted to the Commission on Chicago Landmarks August, 1992 THE JESSIE AND WILLIAM ADAMS HOUSE 9326 South Pleasant A venue Chicago, Illinois Built: 1900-01 Architect: Frank Lloyd Wright .. ~ ... <.·. The Jessie and William Adams House is one of a small number of residences in the city of Chicago by Frank Lloyd Wright. Designed in 1900 and built early the following year, this house represents an important period of experimentation in the architect's career, extending from roughly 1893 through 1910, during which Wright laid the theoretical basis for the forma­ ~- . tion of the Prairie School. In addition to its interest relative to its design and its architect, this structure is unique in that its original owner was a contractor who had previously built a number of residences from designs by Wright. As such, the Jessie and William Adams House represents a singular statement of the relationship between the architect and one of his builders. William Adams, Contractor and Builder The original owner of the house at 9326 South Pleasant Avenue, and the person who commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to design it. was William Adams. Born in Dairy, County Ayrshire , Scotland, on February 3. 1861, Adams received his elementary education in his native town before emigrating to the United States in the late 1870s, settling with his family in Florida. Trained in the building trades , by 1884 he was living in Chicago and working as an independent contractor. Adams was listed as a carpenter in city directories from 1884 to 1894, and for most of those years he shared a residence on Ashland Avenue with his brother James , a bricklayer.
