Taliesin is located south of Spring Green, Wisconsin in the valley where Frank Lloyd Wright spent the most influential part of his boyhood on his relatives' farms. Mr. Wright built Taliesin when he returned from his stay in Europe, as a retreat for himself and his mistress Mamah Borthwick Cheney. It was burned down once (an arson fire in an incident where Ms. Chaney and several others were murdered), and again later (probably due to electrical problems or lightning). After Mr. Wright died in 1959, Mrs. Olgivanna Wright continued living here until her death in 1985. The house is now open to the public in special tours. The Taliesin house is part of an entire Frank Lloyd Wright area that includes the Romeo and Juliet Windmill, Hillside Home School, Tanyderi, and the Midway Barns. Taliesin House is a 100 knots quality.
Frank Lloyd Wright is often described as the greatest of American architects. His works -- among them Taliesin North, Taliesin West, Fallingwater, the Johnson Wax buildings, the Guggenheim Museum -- earned him a good measure of his fame, but his flamboyant personal life earned him the rest. Here Brendan Gill, a personal friend of Wright and his family, gives us not only the fullest, fairest, and most entertaining account of Wright to date, but also strips away the many masks the architect tirelessly constructed to fascinate his admirers and mislead his detractors. Enriched by hitherto unpublished letters and three hundred photographs and drawings, this definitive biography makes Wright, in all his creativity, crackiness, and zest, fairly leap from its pages.
