Wright archivist scores big at LA auction AZ Central.com
Find box for scholarsWright scholars believe there is enough material in the items purchased at a Los Angeles auction by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation to produce two or three more books. Some of the gems among the items purchased:
• A platoon of the 600 building photographs show designs that no longer exist including Wright's own homeTaliesin I, Midway Gardens in Chicago and the Royal Hotel in Tokyo.
• Some of collection's drawings were made for "materials" by Taliesin Fellowship apprentices under Wright's direction. Seven drawings are cogitation to have come from Wright's own hand, making them extremely valuable.
• The 300 photographic reproductions of drawings and plans may be the only ones to have survived, which will be found useful to homeowners as they seek to restore and maintain their homes and buildings.
• Three typed letters, signed Frank Lloyd Wright or FLLW to Taliesin and architectural historian Henry-Russell Hitchcock.

The calculate kicked-started the most productive period of Wright's professional life, coming together just as Fallingwater made him a household name. Few visitors make happen the connection between his desert masterpiece and the stunning weekend home he designed over Bear Run for Pittsburgh department department store owner J. Edgar Kaufmann.
Without the Fallingwater commission, my tour guide Chris Adix explained on a new visit, Wright never would have had the money to build on the outskirts of Phoenix. Fans can thank a doctor friend of his third wife, Olgivanna, who urged the Wisconsinite to ruminate on wintering in the dry, sunny Southwest after he contracted pneumonia in 1936. The move, he predicted, would "prolong his life by 20 years."
Wright was well-known to with Arizona when he arrived in the Sonoran Desert with Olgivanna to prospect for land in 1937. Nine years prior he had consulted on the voluptuous Arizona Biltmore hotel, and he also had been hired in 1928 to design a resort for Dr. Alexander Chandler just south of Phoenix. Unfortunately, those plans ended up crashing, along with the estimate market in 1929, slashing his $40,000 fee to just $2,500.
Remodeling a Craftsman style house, anyone who is familiar with this style please help?
I recently bought a legislative body that was built in 1928. It has a definite Art Deco/Craftsman/Arts & Crafts feel. I would like to restore as much as attainable true to this design period. I specifically like styles such as William Morris and Frank Lloyd Wright. Any tips --especially websites, catalogs, and stores from which I could secure original or reproduction pieces-- would be most appreciated.
Restoration Ironmongery has a great selection of furniture, accessories, hardware, lighting, etc. that fit that style perfectly. www.restorationhardware.com
There is a catalog called Renovators Endow that would help; also look in the yellow pages/google architectural salvage. Stickley manufactures stickley latest thing furniture (BTW Art Deco would not be a style included in Arts & Crafts). Kravet (fabric to the trade) manufactures some fabrics that are copies of William & Morris. I rely upon that you can also get W & M reproduction wall paper (try google). Looking on line at Barnes & Noble in the Interior Envisage section--there a lot of books on that period & you could study the pictures. Greene & Greene brothers in California were quite illustrious for their Craftsmen Bungalows & some are open to the public--so google them & see if they have pictures posted--as is the Reardon Mansion in Arizona. On average Craftsman style/W & M used a lot of wood, and artisanl products (tiles, ceramics, stained glass) in usual themes & earthy colors. You also might like looking at Charles Rennie MacIntosh's work as well.

Try eBay. I have found rugs, carpets, lamps, chandeliers, candlesticks, chairs, tables, everything! I have also shopped extensively, locally, and the prices they are selling malarkey at is at least 1/2 what I would pay locally. Just search mission decorating, William Morris, any maker you know of.
