The Most Famous Buildings Of Frank Lloyd Wright

In honor of renowned American architect Frank Lloyd Wright's birthday today, Bisnow compiled this list of the master's most famed creations.

Taliesin

Location: Spring Green, WI

Built: 1911

This was Frank's home and studio, where he drafted plans for some of his most iconic projects, like the Guggenheim and Fallingwater. Though parts of the structure had to be rebuilt multiple times due to fires, the building is now on the US National Register of Historic Places.

The Guggenheim Museum NYC

Location: NYC

Built: 1959

It took Wright 15 years to finally settle on the the Guggenheim's design—but that paid off, as it's reportedly the world's most photographed building. Sadly, the building did not open until six months after the architect died.

Fallingwater

Location: Mill Run, PA

Built: 1939

This home in rural Pennsylvania, designed in 1935, is one of Frank's most eye-catching and recognizable works. The building was one of three works during Wright's late 60s that brought him back to prominence in the architectural community.

Frederick C. Robie House

Location: Chicago

Built: 1909

This building on the University of Chicago's campus was made a National Historic Landmark in 1963, and is pointed to as one of the best examples of the Prairie School style of American architecture. Wright designed not just the house, but the interior, windows, lighting, rugs and furniture.

Price Tower

Location: Bartlesville, OK

Built: 1956

This 19-story tower was Wright's only skyscraper, commissioned by the H. C. Price Co, a local oil pipeline and chemical firm, to be its HQ. The building is now known as the Price Tower Arts Center, and an expansion on the structure was done by none other than starchitect Zaha Hadid.

Hollyhock House

Location: LA

Built: 1922

This house was originally built as a residence for oil heiress Aline Barnsdall, and now is the centerpiece of the city's Barnsdall Art Park. The cement-block structure made the LA Times' 2008 list of the "best houses of all time in LA."
