Masterwork in wood and stone

Article Abstract:

Wright's famous Wisconsin home, Taliesin, guarded as a private residence by his widow and then by a group of architects, was recently open to the public. A restaurant that houses the visitor center and a local school building were also designed by Wright. The full house tour is well worth the $35 fee.
