1867 – 1959
Frank Lloyd Wright
The Wisconsin architect who built houses that hug the earth.
The Story
Frank grew up in Wisconsin playing with wooden blocks his mother gave him.
Those blocks stayed with him — he became an architect who built like a giant kid.
He designed houses with long low roofs that seemed to grow right out of the ground.
His most famous house, Fallingwater, sits right on top of a waterfall.
Over a thousand of his buildings still stand today.
