Sprites
Designed in 1914 by FLW for the MIdway Gardens in Chicago. Original sculptures were lost after the Midway Gardens were demolished, only to reemerge in 1945 after being "unearthed" in Wisconsin. A mold was cast of the "Solemn Sprite" by the request of Mrs. Wright, and from this six new Sprites were cast and gifted to the Biltmore in 1985.
