  • 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.
