2009 is the 50th anniversary of the death of Frank Lloyd Wright.  Perhaps America's most renowned architect, Wright is best know for his Prairie Style, as well as innovative use of both natural and industrual materials, looking to nature for inspiration, as well as the completely new idiom of his "Usonian" style.  The Washington area has two Wright houses -- the Pope Leighey house near Mount Vernon which is open to the public and the Luis Marden house which is not.  Celebrate the achievements of this remarkable American icon by checking out a book or video from your Library today!
