    8/20/2019 Lincoln Logs Inventor John Lloyd Wright | Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation An advertisement for Lincoln Logs, 1925. 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.

  • How Did Frank Lloyd Wright Establish a New Canon of American
    “ The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization.” -Frank Lloyd Wright How did Frank Lloyd Wright establish a new canon of American architecture? Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) •Considered an architectural/artistic genius and THE best architect of last 125 years •Designed over 800 buildings •Known for ‘Prairie Style’ (really a movement!) architecture that influenced an entire group of architects •Believed in “architecture of democracy” •Created an “organic form of architecture” Prairie School The term "Prairie School" was coined by H. Allen Brooks, one of the first architectural historians to write extensively about these architects and their work. The Prairie school shared an embrace of handcrafting and craftsmanship as a reaction against the new assembly line, mass production manufacturing techniques, which they felt created inferior products and dehumanized workers. However, Wright believed that the use of the machine would help to create innovative architecture for all. From your architectural samples, what may we deduce about the elements of Wright’s work? Prairie School • Use of horizontal lines (thought to evoke native prairie landscape) • Based on geometric forms . Flat or hipped roofs with broad overhanging eaves . “Environmentally” set: elevations, overhangs oriented for ventilation . Windows grouped in horizontal bands called ribbon fenestration that used shifting light . Window to wall ratio affected exterior & interior . Overhangs & bays reach out to embrace . Integration with the landscape…Wright designed inside going out . Solid construction & indigenous materials (brick, wood, terracotta, stucco…natural materials) . Open continuous plan & spaces; use of dissolving walls, but connected spaces Prairie School •Designed & used “glass screens” that echoed natural forms •Created Usonian homes for the “masses” Frank Lloyd Wright, Darwin D.

To Wright, this material was a highly expressive, decorative, and practical approach to create monumental yet affordable buildings. Indeed, some of his most iconic structures, including the Ennis House in Los Angeles, utilized the textile block system. However, like so many of Wright’s experiments with materials and engineering, textile block has posed major challenges to generations of building owners, architects, and conservators who have struggled with the system’s material and structural performance.

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.

  • Graycliff – a Truly American Story “In His Unshakable Optimism
    Graycliff – A Truly American Story “In his unshakable optimism, messianic zeal, and pragmatic resilience, Wright was quintessentially American.” ‐ Smithsonian magazine tribute on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Guggenheim. Just as it is often said that Frank Lloyd Wright was truly American in spirit and style, the Graycliff story is woven out of strands that also have a truly American flavor. The American Dream, embodying the notion of opportunity for all, takes shape here in the true-to-life rags-to-riches story of Darwin Martin. The close cousin to the American Dream – the one that holds that through gumption and perseverance one may triumph – is on display as well. Perseverance, resilience, and the comeback story are all in evidence at various stages in Graycliff’s 90 years – for the Martins, for Wright himself, for the house, the region, and for the Graycliff Conservancy as an organization. Win-win relationships where all parties pragmatically get their needs met are both a hallmark of American history and culture and a defining characteristic of relationships at Graycliff where all the key players compromised a little while holding onto their defining principles in the end. One of the most enduring and distinctive American values is the lure and promise of nature, wilderness, and the frontier and the potential of new beginnings that are implicit in the purity of nature and the fresh start that movement to a new place makes possible. This is evident in both the post-retirement reboot for the Martin family at Graycliff and the property’s roots in organic architecture in which the house rose from the lands on which it sits.

  • Frank Lloyd Wright Combo Tour

Derby, NY 139.00 ,t {minimum of 3o traveters} 7:30 AM Depart by chartered motorcoach from the Batavia Home Depot (atat veterans Memorial Drive, Batavialfor Buffalo. 7:45 Pick up at Alexander Fireman's Recreation Hall (10708 Alexander Road /Rte. 98, Alexander). 8:15 Pick up at Darien Center Pavilion Parking Lot (10537 Alleghany Road). Rest/Coffee Stop en route. 9:30 Visit Frank Lloyd Wright's Martin House (125 Jewett Pkwy, Buffalo). Designed by the famous architect, the Martin House is an extraordinary house museum and National Historic Landmark in Buffalo, NY. Nestled in the city's historic Parkside neighborhood, the site ranks as one of Wright's finest residential projects - a place where architecture, the surrounding landscape, and an extensive collection of art glass and furnishings come together to form a complete work of genius. 12:30 PM Board your motorcoach and transfer to Lakeview New York for Lunch. 1:00 Arrive and be seated for lunch at JPs Banquet House (meal selections to be advised). 2:3A Visit Frank Lloyd Wright Graycliffs Estate (6472 Old Lake Shore Rd, Derby). More than a home, Graycliff is one of Wright's most stunning examples of Organic architecture, and an unexpected departure from his signature Prairie style. At one with its surroundings, Graycliff blurs the distinction between man's creation and nature's generosity-built using sand, rock, and wood harvested from the grounds and coastline, then flooded with natural light. Embracing the serenity of the gardens and the sweeping Lake Erie vista, Wright redefined modern architecture not through opulence and grandeur, but by exhibiting a mastery of subtlety and restraint.
