For Members of the Volume 44 : Issue 1 Spring 2018 Frank Lloyd Wright Trust Wright Angles: A DIALOGUE ROBIE RESTORATION UNDERWAY From the President & CEO On April 9, 1959, America lost its greatest architect, and the buildings of Frank Lloyd Wright became his living legacy. Of his approximately 500 built works, over twenty percent have been demolished in the 59 years since his death. Another 500 were never built, surviving only as drawings or plans, now housed in the Avery Library of Columbia University, New York. This year the Trust launches a new video series on Wright’s lost works, unveiling our first program on the Larkin Building. Featured on the Trust’s website and available on YouTube, these videos recreate the experience of Wright’s lost buildings and render more vivid the architectural achievement of his career. Interior restoration in progress at Robie House. At Robie House this year a dramatic interior restoration is well underway with several important rooms complete this summer. It’s an exciting time to visit and witness the restoration as Trust interpreters share the technical details with you.

Frank Lloyd Wright: The Lost Works will bring these lost buildings to life through immersive digital animations accurate to Wright’s original plans and drawings, along with archival photographs. The series has launched with Wright’s Larkin Administration Building. Designed for the Larkin Company of Buffalo, New York, and built from 1904 to 1906, the building was Wright’s first large-scale commission. Darwin Martin, the company’s secretary, had viewed Wright’s work first hand in Oak Park in 1902. It was Martin who encouraged John Larkin to hire Wright for the design of the company’s headquarters. The Larkin Building was demolished in 1950. The development of the Larkin Building animation was supported by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.

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.

    VOLUME 25 NUMBER 1 JANUARY-MARCH 1995 OFFICE THE ROOKERY CHICAGO, ILLINOIS PROJECT TYPE An outstanding restoration of a historic, century-old, 12-story office building. The developer's strategy was to restore the 293,962-square-foot building's historic architectural interiors on the ground and mezzanine levels and to incorporate state-of-the-art HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), electrical, elevator, security, and telecommunications systems into the upper floors of office space without losing the feeling of the old building. This project sets the standard for future commercial renovations and proves that the cost of expensive, high-quality restoration can be recovered in Class A rents.

With painstaking exactitude, Baldwin Development Company and its restoration architect have brought back elements of the Rookery's three eras—Daniel Burnham and John Wellborn Root's original 1886 design, Frank Lloyd Wright's 1905 modernization of the interior, and a 1931 remodeling by William Drummond—while at the same time renovating the office floors to compete with the most expensive, recently constructed office space inside Chicago's Loop.
