FLW was commissioned to design this beautiful chair for the New Imperial Hotel, Japan in 1916. The window is another FLW design from the Avery Coonley House, Illinois. Alas I don't think I will ever get to visit any of his houses.
The William E. Martin House
636 East
A block and a half north of the Cheney home on East Ave. we have the William E. Martin house at 636 N. East. It offers a most interesting contrast in styles. While the Cheney home is low to the ground and almost seems to be part of it the Martin home is like a staircase leading up to the sky. The home caught the eye of Martins brother who was a wealthy industrialist living in Buffalo. This led to Wright to Buffalo where he did six homes and an office building.
We have posted an HD video of this home on ChiTownView YouTube.

This striking architecture is the Grady Gammage Auditorium, ASU's main performing arts center, and for many years, home to the Phoenix Symphony. It's unique design was the last public commission of the famous architect, Frank Loyd Wright. It was reportedly designed from a sketch by Write of a Baghdad opera house. The auditorium was also the site of the third presidential debate in the 2004 election.
I will be fairly busy over the next week or so, so I'm not sure how many chances I'll get to post, but I'll do my best.

I posted the incorrect, intermitent version, of this work earlier. I have removed and replaced with this correct one. The tilt-shift effect, I belive, is rather nice here.
Sorry for the confusion.

Some 2,000 feet above sea level in the mountains of Western Pennsylvania, Frank Lloyd Wright's Kentuck Knob stands as an eloquent testimony to the genius of this American architect. Both dramatic and serene, the home, situated just below the crest of the hill, appears almost part of the mountain itself. To the east, just steps beyond the back terrace, stretches a breathtaking panorama of the Youghiogheny River Gorge and the mountains that surround it.
Kentuck Knob represents a refinement of the many principles of organic architecture explored by Mr. Wright throughout his long career. Designed in 1953 for the I.N. Hagan family of Uniontown, Pennsylvania, Kentuck Knob was constructed by local craftsmen whose skills earned the confidence of Mr. Wright himself. The interior, at once expansive and intimate, reflects the presence of current owners, the Lord and Lady Palumbo of London, England, who are dedicated patrons of the arts both at home and abroad. Lord Palumbo served as chairmen of the Arts Council of Great Britain from 1989 to 1994 and sits in the House of Lords, the Upper Chamber of the British Parliament.
The home is built on a hexagonal grid, and is constructed entirely of tidewater red cypress and native fieldstone. The truly functional kitchen is the architectural core of the home. Its walls of stone not only anchor the two wings of the house but also rise to penetrate the horizontal line of the copper roof. An open floor plan, cantilevered overhangs and great expanses of glass artfully integrate the outdoor and indoor spaces. A sculpture park has been integrated with the woodlands and informal gardens surrounding the house, providing an additional attraction for the visitor.
In 1906 Wright was commissioned by Peter A. Beachy to remodel what had been a gothic cottage. Located in the heart of the historic district It was built on the already existing foundation which is why front is on the side.
