This is part of my series of visits to buildings designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Frank Lloyd Wright designed Wingspread for Herbert F. Johnson, then president of Johnson Wax. The home was built in 1938-9. It consists of a central hub which houses the massive living room and its balcony, with 4 long hallways (wings), each used for different purposes (parents, children, guests, and service wings). It is now a conference center operated by the Johnson Foundation. This was one of the last of the prairie-style houses designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and was one of his most extravagant designs. Of all the houses I've toured throughout my life, this is hands-down the one I'd like to live in, as long as I wouldn't have to pay the heating or A/C bills!

Here are some photos of the exterior

The 3- or 4-story living room is spectacular, being a huge area with a central floor-to-ceiling brick chimney into which several fireplaces on the ground floor are carved, and to which a children's play structure is attached from the balcony. The children could climb this spiral staircase to the top of the atrium where they had a 360-degree view. On the ground floor, living rooms are on both long sides of the chimney, and the shorter sides house a dining room and a balcony. The chimney is surrounded by atrium skylights.

The Wyoming Valley School is a building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, located near Spring Green, Wisconsin. I stopped here during a summer evening when the school was closed and snapped these photos.
