This is not a comprehensive list of the extensive Wright-related materials in the Library's collection. Biographies on Wright have not been included; these are located in the Non-fiction and biographies sections of the Central Library. Most of the items listed here are in the Grosvenor Room (GRO). Material in the Grosvenor Room must be used on the premises and cannot be borrowed. For books that can be borrowed, visit the general Non-fiction section. Shelf locations are subject to change; please see a Librarian for assistance. 2 Wright’s Buffalo Work in Chronological Order Date Name Code Address Status Universal Portland Pan-American 1901 UP Demolished or never built Cement Co.
