UNITY CHAPEL_DSC5071
UNITY CHAPEL (1886), Spring Green, WI. The Lloyd Jones family immigrated from Wales in the 1840’s to escape persecution in the UK. They hired the Chicago architect Joseph L. Silsbee to design the “cottage church”. Frank Lloyd Wright, working for Silsbee, was assigned to supervise the interior, although it is speculated that his involvement may have been greater. He was accredited as the draftsman and the construction supervisor for Silsbee. Wright was greatly disappointed that his uncle, Lloyd Jones, did not allow him to design what would have been his first project. Wright (1867 - 1959) was 19.
