<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Given their associations with the Arts & Crafts movement, their respective penchants for longish hair and distinctive ways of dress, and their connections to the Larkin Company in Buffalo (Hubbard was second in command of the company until 1893; Wright designed the Larkin Administration Building in 1903-6), western New Yorkers and others have often asked, did Wright and Elbert Hubbard know each other? In the <u>Arts & Crafts Quarterly</u> in May of 1992 I gathered the following evidence:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">First, Darwin Martin visited Wright's Home and Studio in Oak Park, Illinois, in September 1902 and wrote a letter to Elbert Hubbard, his former employer at the Larkin Company, encouraging Hubbard to visit Wright saying:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>You need an example of Wright's architecture on the Roycroft grounds. The Wright studio -- it would be a shame to call it an office -- is very Roycroftie." To which Hubbard responded, "I am glad to say that I know about the work of brother Wright of Oak Park. He certainly is a genius in his line and no man admires him more than I.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Second, Evelyn (Heath) Jacobsen (Elbert Hubbard's niece) recalled in an interview with me in 1990, when she was 94, that she remembered Wright and Hubbard meeting in her family's Wright-designed William R. Heath House in Buffalo, but unfortunately she did not elaborate.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Third, John Lloyd Wright made a similar claim and <i>did</i> elaborate, in his fatuous way, in his <u>My Father Who Is On Earth</u> of 1946: </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Elbert Hubbard was almost as picturesque as Father -- they talked arts, crafts and philosophy by the hour. Said Elbert the Hubbard to the Papa one night, 'Modesty being egotism turned wrong side out, let me say here that I am an orator, a great orator! I have health, gesture, imagination, voice, vocabulary, taste, ideas -- I acknowledge it myself. What I lack in shape I make up in nerve...' Said Dad the papa to the Hubbard, 'Not only do I intend to be the greatest architect who ever lived but the greatest architect who will ever live. Yes, I intend to be the greatest architect of all time, and I do hereunto affix 'the red square' and sign my name to this warning.' Just a couple of boys trying to get along."</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Elbert Hubbard perished on the Lusitania in 1915 but in the late 1920s, when Wright was being pursued by legal authorities, he deposited Olgivanna Milanov Hinzenberg, soon to be his third wife, and her child at Hubbard's Roycroft Inn in East Aurora.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The new evidence comes from a letter written in 1966 by Lloyd Wright, Wright's oldest child (born 1890), to Linn Cowles, who was then a student in New York preparing a seminar report on Wright. Lloyd Wright writes:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>At the studio about this time came also, Roy Crofters, Elbert Hubbard and relatives, and others involved in the English William Morris School of Arts and Crafts, and Architect, C.R. Ashbee and his wife. Mr Ashbee later designed the first building for Tel Aviv in Israel. He and his wife visited us in Oak Park about 1896 and taught us children, four of us then, the Morris songs and dances..."</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">How does it matter that Wright and Hubbard might have known each other? John Wright is the only account that elaborates a meeting and it is written in a way that does not inspire confidence. There are no footnotes. When did it occur? How did it happen? How old was John? An oblique insight comes by way of an unpublished manuscript written by Clark W.Heath entitled"Eagle BayFarm 1907-1920; Soldiers</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">place 1904-1923" Dr. Heath writes:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>But more about Frank Lloyd Wright. Father had the capacity (mother thought it a fault) of attracting unusual and creative people. He loved discussions of the philosophy of life, of religion, of purpose and would sometimes stay up late talking with someone with whom he felt at ease. Sometimes these men had one eye on his financial help. so it was with frank Lloyd Wright, though </i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>I believe that Wright was challenged by father's skepticism and argumentativeness... Mother was always gracious to these people but recognized their divided intentions and would warn father.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Heath home was something of a hotbed of interesting discourse. The record shows that when Walter V. Davidson joined the Larkin Company in 1906 he and his wife were invited to the Heath home on at least two occasions to discuss the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Wright did lean on the Heaths (and the Martins and other prominent clients) in times of need so it is not unlikely that Elbert Hubbard and Frank Lloyd Wright did engage in lengthy discussion in the Heath House though perhaps not the way that John Wright has portrayed it.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When the Archives of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation opened to scholars around 1980 a wealth of scholarship ensued as the 1980s and 90s saw an outpouring of excellent books by Neil Levine, Anthony Alofsin, David DeLong, Robert McCarter, Kathryn Smith and others that expanded and refined what had been pioneered by Grant Manson, Henry-Russell Hitchcock and Vincent Scully in the 1940s and 50s. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Even as this proliferation of scholarship occurred there was a seismic shift in the academic world toward such new theoretical approaches as gender studies, post-colonial studies, semiotics and deconstruction, vernacular studies and Neo-Marxism with the result that the cult of the Modern Master (Wright, Mies, Le Corbusier, Gropius, and Alvar Aalto) fell out of favor with graduate students and dissertations and scholarly books on Wright diminished dramatically, though the flow of populist picture books and Wright-related tchotchkes have never abated. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Throughout these years Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer, Director of the Archives of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation in Scottsdale, Arizona, since 1947, has organized, catalogued, and photographed Wright's vast legacy (said to include 22, 000 drawings and 198,000 letters, manuscripts and documents) in preparation for his own fiercely dedicated effort to disseminate Wright's ideas in the form of books of writings and books illustrated with Wright's drawings and photographs of his buildings. Mr. Pfeiffer has published something like 150 such books (some too big to carry) and has mounted or collaborated on a continuous flow of exhibitions, keeping the legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright ever present in the American psyche and the world's imagination. Recently Mr. Pfeiffer has had to withdraw from his relentless productivity for reasons of health and the archives have been turned over the the Avery Library at Columbia University with artifacts going to the Museum of Modern Art in New York. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Wasting no time, Barry Bergdoll, Acting Chief Curator of Architecture and Design at the Museum of Modern Art together with Carole Ann Fabian, Director and Janet Parks, Curator of Drawings and Archives of the Avery Library and Phoebe Springstubb, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Architecture and Design at the Museum of Modern Art have mounted an exhibition titled "Frank Lloyd Wright and the City: Density vs Dispersal" which is to run from February 1 to June 4, 2014. A more ambitious Wright exhibition is planned for 2016. What does this mean for the future of Frank Lloyd Wright scholarship? When I visited the Avery Library archive in December I was the fourth researcher present, all of us veterans of the 1980s and 90s, but the expectation is that graduate students from Columbia and other nearby northeastern schools will make good use of the archives and a second wave of major scholarship will eventuate. Wright's work is so extensive that much remains to be done.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">About that other matter: Sandra Firmin, my wife, has taken a position as Director of the University of Colorado Art Museum in Boulder and we will be moving there in early April. Since I believe that Eric Jackson-Forsberg's original intention was that "The Weekly Wright-Up" would be Darwin Martin House and Wright-in-Buffalo-centric I will be relinquishing my authorial role to Susana Tejada, Curator of the Martin House, except for occasional missives from the Rocky Mountains if I can fin anything Wrightian out there. I'll miss Buffalo and the close proximity to the Martin House and its wonderful staff and volunteers. Thanks for reading.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">At the beginning of the twentieth century, Frank Lloyd Wright created an entirely new organic architecture informed by elements of Nature, geometry, the Japanese print, music, engineering, a love of landscape, a
healthy disdain for historicism and his own expansive vision, to create an architecture
that was distinctly his own and virtually unassailable to imitators.
Apprentices and distant admirers tried in vain to emulate Wright’s work but
invariably fell short. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">An exception is the
Italian architect, Carlo Scarpa (1906-1978) who is the subject of a new book
from <a href="http://www.phaidon.com/store/architecture/carlo-scarpa-9780714848006/">Phaidon Press</a> by Robert McCarter who wrote so enthusiastically about the Martin House (“…one
of the greatest spaces ever built…”) in his <i>Frank Lloyd Wright, Architec</i>t,
in 1997.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In his various roles as scholar,
architect, and Dean of the School of Architecture at Washington University in
St. Louis, McCarter has had the opportunity to spend many summers in Italy’s
Veneto exploring Scarpa’s work in depth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Scarpa’s trajectory in architecture is quite unusual; following
graduation from the University of Venice in 1926 he began working in the age-old
Venetian glass industry, joining the Venini company in 1932 and worked for them
until 1946. Scarpa’s relatively short architectural career mostly post-dates his
work for Venini. Owing to the circumstances of World War II he never obtained
an architectural license. Indeed, Wright never was licensed either.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The relationship of Scarpa’s work to that of Frank Lloyd Wright is visually apparent but not easily characterized. If Wright was a product of the rolling, sky-filled American prairie, Scarpa was indigenous to the labyrinthian urban waterways of Venice. Whereas Wright venerated the horizon as the “line of repose,” much of Scarpa’s work involved interventions into pre-existing ancient buildings and sites in an around his native city and the rest of the Veneto. Wright rejected history; Scarpa interacted with it, brilliantly. Scarpa venerated Wright from a distance of space, and time, and vast cultural differences but the influence always manifests itself as a fresh and startling reinvention as the following comparisons indicate:</span></div>

According to McCarter Wright was greeted at the airport by a welcoming committee of architects from the University but Scarpa, not licensed to practice, was not included. Wright refused to acknowledge the committee and called out, “Which one of you is Scarpa?” and selected him to be one of a two-man escort around the city.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Not much of a glass enthusiast, my recollection of shops in Venice awash in tourist-oriented Murano glass made me somewhat ambivalent about attending the Scarpa
exhibition at the Met a few weeks ago, but I was wrong. The scope and richness
of the work is truly breath-taking. The
images above and below convey something of the work but not the scale, the gradations of color, the surface textures, nor the play of
light on and through the surfaces. If only Scarpa and his Venini team were
available today for the restoration of the living room fireplace of the Darwin
D. Martin House.</span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Why the intense interest in Polivka, and why Buffalo?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Born in 1886, Polivka rose from humble
beginnings to become one of the great modernist engineers in Europe. After
serving in the Austro-Hungarian Army in World War I he opened an office in
Prague and developed photo-elastic stress analysis, a way of studying the
stresses in reinforced concrete structures through passing light through clear
plastic building models.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This and other
innovations led to Polivka’s selection as engineer of the Czechoslovakian
pavilions at the Paris Exposition in 1937 and the New York World’s Fair in
1939. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

the United States where he first became a professor of engineering at U.C.
Berkeley and later established a private office. An admirer of Frank Lloyd
Wright, Polivka offered to help Wright with the engineering of some of the
architect’s most prominent late buildings and projects including the Guggenheim
Museum, the research tower of the Johnson’s Wax Company, and the famous (or
infamous) Mile High Illinois Building of 1956. Alas, Wright was painfully slow to reward Polivka for his services. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Visitors to the Darwin D. Martin House often wince at the prospect of sitting down to dinner at one of Wright's formidable oak side chairs, but little do they know that this was the end result of a contentious exchange between the Martins and their architect. Wright's initial design -- a plan and elevation of the dining table and one side chair rendered in a fine, lightly drawn pencil drawing -- called for a chair that consisted of just three basic parts: a tall vertical back slat, a platform for sitting, and a single wide-board support at right angles to the back slat and the seat. Here are details of the chair drawing:</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Despite Martin's admonition Wright did cling to his "invention." He designed a three-legged chair for the Larkin Administration Building even as the Martins objected to theirs. Harry Larkin, Jr., the last president of the Larkin Company told this writer that they called it the "suicide chair." Thirty years later Wright designed a lighter, tubular metal three-legged chair for the Johnson's Wax Company. What was he thinking?</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When challenged Wright is known to have responded that such chairs would necessitate sitting with two feet planted firmly on the floor -- hence stability and order (no slouching at the table, or at work for that matter). But he also joked that he was black and blue all his life from contact with his own furniture. The real reason, however, was design continuity. The cantilever was integral to Wright's architecture from start to finish and these chairs were all about the cantilever. If you lived in a house of cantilevers like the Martin House then apparently he felt that you should also sit on one, precariouly.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09951066889906531014noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280076518807516000.post-12866593129212787702013-12-26T12:21:00.001-05:002013-12-26T12:21:27.447-05:00THE MARTIN HOUSE LIBRARY C1910<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As the restoration of the Martin House moves forward it has been necessary to scrutinize amateur photographs like this one (above) in order to recover or simulate the interior of the house as the Martins inhabited it. Murky as it is, this photograph carries some valuable insights: hefty drapes for the large clear window facing Jewett Avenue (probably for privacy); two sets of portieres at the right that would have closed off the library from the adjacent living room (important in a house without walls); an upholstered chair at the far right and a wicker chair to the right of the library table (neither of which appears on Wright's furniture plan); a barrel chair at the left; and the faint outlines of an art glass table lamp against the large window (probably the one in the Martin House collection). The finish on the wooden beams and trim is noticeably glossy; there is evidence of flowering plants right and left. Color, of course, is missing though Wright is known to work exclusively in autumnal colors during the Prairie period. The image below, an interior rendering of the Thaxter Shaw House in Montreal, never built, is a rare surviving example of the color in a Wright interior; note the wisteria fireplace. For more on the Thaxter Shaw House see <a href="http://www.cca.qc.ca/en/collection/5-frank-lloyd-wright-and-quebec">http://www.cca.qc.ca/en/collection/5-frank-lloyd-wright-and-quebec</a> For more on the Martin House library why not visit?</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Over the past twenty years I have met a number of Frank Lloyd Wright's later, Usonian period, clients, and I've noticed that there are references to Wright's "scampering over their site" prior or during construction. In 1999 at an annual meeting of the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy I had lunch with Mark Heyman who was an apprentice to Wright from 1954 to 1959 and he told me this:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One day Mark was in the drafting room at Taliesin West when he heard a commotion and saw Mrs. Wright run by, soon followed by Wright, also running. They disappeared into their quarters. Mark wondered what was up and asked around. It seems that Mrs.
Wright didn’t have a car but was driven around by Kay Davidson. Mrs. Wright
and Kay couldn’t use Wright’s car (a Mercedes) because <u>he</u> might need it. Mrs. Wright confronted Wright and he told her
and Kay to go buy a car. They did, they bought a Plymouth with big fins and it
was painted pink and cream. That was what prompted Wright to run after
Mrs. Wright. Mark said he almost never saw the car in use except when Wright
was away. He didn’t even know where it was hidden. Somewhere in the desert?</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">No one would describe the Martin House as simple, but it presents an illusion of material simplicity comprised of Roman brick, cast concrete copings, a tile roof, copper gutters, and art glass windows. In fact the Martin House was constructed of almost every building material available in 1905-6, including common red brick, fifty-seven pieces of Carnegie steel, reinforced concrete floor slabs, structural glass, oak, pine, cypress, various kind of plaster, and magnesite in addition to those materials immediately visible from the exterior. Over the coming weeks we will look at some of the systems that have been retro-fitted into the Martin House in order to preserve the building and transform it from a family home into an historic house museum. These are mostly unseen by the public during tours.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Early in the process of restoration it was decided to install a geothermal heating and cooling system in the house because such a system is economical over time and it is consistent with Wright's prescient use of passive solar design in 1905-6. The Martin House was originally heated by a coal-fired furnace located beneath the carriage house and piped under the pergola to pier clusters within the main house. This was highly inefficient but as Darwin Martin wrote to his brother, William, <i>his houses are impossible to heat but who cares</i> (or words to that effect). At the time of construction Darwin Martin was one of the highest paid executives in the United States in the years before the income tax. It is likely that the Martins were not entirely comfortable in the dead of winter but in the summer they could cool the house by opening wide their casement windows.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A modern-day geo-thermal system (diagrammed above) functions as follows: wells are dug or drilled down several hundred feet to a point at which the temperature of the earth is a constant 55 degrees. The wells are then outfitted with pipes that form a loop from a pumping station within the building down to the bottom of each well and back to the pumping station.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The Martin House system is a closed loop system meaning that the ground water never mixes with water in the system; only heat is transferred. Inside the buildings, the geothermal piping is connected to a series of heat pumps. There will be a total of 14 heat pumps in three buildings when the Martin House restoration and Visitor Center projects are complete. The heat pumps are linked to a conventional system of supply and return air ducts which carry conditioned air to the different parts of the buildings.</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Water or a form of anti-freeze is the medium that is pumped through the system. In the heat of the summer the medium is sent down to cool to 55 degrees and then returns to the transfer point where it is cooled further as necessary. In the cold of the winter the medium is similarly circulated so that the house can be warmed from 55 degrees up to 65 degrees. These tempered mediums are then used to cool or warm the house seasonally.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The well plan shown below locates 36 geo-thermal wells beneath the east lawn of the Martin House and northwest of the Barton House. Twenty additional wells were dug for the Greatbach Pavilion on the west side of the site.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Biff Henrich's dazzling photograph (above) shows the laylight and its thin art glass border restored last week to one of the Martin House pier clusters for the first time since the 1950s. There are twenty-six art glass pieces in each of the pier clusters. The pier clusters are wonderfully multifunctional: eight of them provide the internal structural support for the second floor of the Martin house in lieu of conventional walls; they occur in pairs at regular intervals across the first floor in a rhythm that permeates the entire building. Most of them, like the one photographed by Clarence Fuermann in 1907 (below), contain radiators for heating the house, and bookshelves on three sides. The piers support light sconces and the horizontal beams that separate spaces such as the living room and the library and they carried velvet portieres that could be drawn to enclose these spaces on occasion. Each one is a discrete, complex structural -- a building within the building - entity that provides the Martin House with its unique transparency.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Elevations of the Ullman House project of 1904 and the Darwin Martin House also under design in 1904 have many similarities owing to Wright's use of pairs of large and small piers around the periphery of both buildings. The difference, as the plans (below) indicate, is that the Ullman House lacks the internal pier clusters of the Martin House with the result that the living room is a large and perhaps vacuous space that would require substantial structural spans. The relationship of the living room, dining room and kitchen of the Ullman House radiating west, north and east of the fireplace core is similar to that of Wright Ward Willits House of 1901. Perhaps the arrangement had some bearing on Ullman's decision not to build and led Wright to create the innovative pier cluster solution for the Martin House.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The following article was written by Betty Cass in the <u>Wisconsin State Journa</u>l of July 30, 1935 and is reproduced in Randolph C. Hennings' book <u>At Taliesin: Newspaper Columns by Frank Lloyd Wright and the Taliesin Fellowship, 1934-1937</u> (Southern Illinois University Press, 1992). I reproduce it here because it reflects the centrality of music to Wright and it provides a hint of the charm with which he swayed so many clients over the years.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i>
<i> Madison Days</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
<i><br /></i><i>... Finally, for Saturday, there was the affair of the stringed instruments.</i></span><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Just as a late afternoon peace had settled on the household a truck loaded with musical instruments came up the winding driveway to the back courtyard and dumped them beside a lily pool.</span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> One of the apprentices came running into where Mr. and Mrs. Wright were sitting and cried excitedly, "Oh. Mr. Wright, the truck's just come with your instruments!"</span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> "What?" Mrs. Wright asked, startled, a faint frown appearing on her brow as she sensed another extravagance of her famous husband.</span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">"What did you say?"</span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> "Never mind...never mind!" said Mr. Wright and hurried out, pushing the confused apprentice before him.</span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> But in a few minutes he was back, a beatific (albeit cat-caught-in-the cream) smile on his face, his grey beret pushed jauntily to one side, affecting a gay swagger -- AND strumming on a guitar (or maybe it was a viola) like a wandering minstrel of old serenading his lady love.</span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> It didn't thaw Mrs. Wright, however. She merely glanced at him disdainfully out of the corners of her black, black eyes and went on with her embroidery.</span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Mr. Wright laid the instrument down and went out without a word ... and in a minute he was back with another, striding with a springy step, humming to the little tune he was making -- this time on a violin held like a guitar.</span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Mrs. Wright embroidered. Out went Mr. Wright again ... and again ... each time bringing in one of the instruments, each time strumming and humming a gayer, more carefree tune. And Mrs. Wright continued to embroider and remain aloof -- but when he finally came in with the last one, a bass viola larger than he was, a regular Paul Bunyan of an instrument, his twinkling eyes just peeking over the shiny brown side of the giant he was trying to strum, she could remain aloof no longer.</span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> She laid down her embroidery and laughed until tears ran down her face. And the crisis was over. Taliesin had been completely equipped with stringed instruments and there had been no casualties. But Mr. Wright is sorry now that he did not get a flute, too, while he was about it. It was all so easy, after all.</span></i>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09951066889906531014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280076518807516000.post-89798960489194824252013-11-30T09:16:00.001-05:002013-11-30T09:16:06.385-05:00THE PAUL AND JEAN HANNA HOUSE, STANFORD, CALIFORNIA<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I first became aware of Paul and Jean Hanna at a conference titled "An American Architecture," held in conjunction with an exhibition mounted by Brian Spencer at the Milwaukee Art Center in 1978. (Attendees included Lloyd Wright, Edgar Kaufmann, Jr., Bruce Goff, Herb Greene, Edgar Tafel, and a host of historians) The Hannas spoke about building their Frank Lloyd Wright-designed house in Palo Alto in 1938. Little did I know that </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">ten years later we</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> would be working with the same publisher, Victoria Newhouse, and that we would wind up pursuing the Frank Lloyd Wright-Darwin D. Martin Papers that were auctioned in Los Angeles in 1983. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Hanna's interest in Wright did not subside following the completion of their House. They amassed a large library of books on and by Wright and left those, their house, and a substantial archive pertaining to the construction of his house to Stanford University. According to Victoria Newhouse the Hannas submitted a huge manuscript to her Architectural History Foundation that was whittled down to the excellent 148 page book <u>Frank Lloyd Wright's Hanna House: The Clients' Report</u> of 1981. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Paul sought the Wright-Martin Papers for Stanford's archives when they came up for auction as I did on behalf of the Archives of the University at Buffalo. When the bidding exceeded $50,000 we both dropped out and the papers went to a dealer who eventually sold them to UB and Stanford jointly for $100,000. Paul and I, Shonnie Finnegan, the UB archivist, and Lorelei Ketter met at the dealer's office in Chicago in 1984, xeroxed the papers and divided them so that UB obtained the original portion that included letters from 1902 to 1915 while Stanford got the original material that extended from 1916 to the 1940s. It worked out well because Paul was interested in having the papers that pertained to the period that he and Jean were building their house whereas we were interested in the portion that pertained to Darwin Martin's relationship with Wright during the design and construction of the Martin House and the Larkin Building.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Despite a transaction made memorable by many months of fund-raising and delicate negotiations via conference calls I never saw the Hanna House until last week when Julie Cain, Program Coordinator for Heritage Services at Stanford, gave me and Sandra a tour. Having taught courses on Wright's work for thirty-seven years and visited many of them I can attest that the house cannot be adequately appreciated from images alone. Compared to the other Usonian houses from 1937-38 the Hanna House is surprisingly spacious both in its lateral reach and a variety of ceiling heights and configurations that extend up to fifteen feet in the entrance hall and in the kitchen. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hanna House is a rare commission from Wright's Usonian period that was not supervised by one of his apprentices. Harold Turner, a local Palo Alto builder, went to Taliesin for a few weeks to learn from Wright. The result is an amazing piece of craftwork where entire windows walls respond to the rhythms of the hexagonal module. The house abounds in ingenious accommodations to the hexagon including a sequence of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">tall </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">planks (below, left) angled to the edge of a hexagon that screen the "workspace" (kitchen) from the adjoining dining area.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Hanna's were not well off when they began this project and Wright drove them to exceed their means to the point of exasperation. Apparently he recognized qualities and sensibilities in them that eventually materialized in extraordinary achievement and recognition in the field of childhood education, and considerable wealth. The Hanna House certainly testifies to all that and more -- the confluence of enormous talents.</span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Marin County Civic Center was difficult to write about in that it was completed under the supervision of Aaron Green, in 1964, five years after Wright's death and it seemed both odd in certain respects and virtually without comparison as a building type. At 1460 feet in length the building is composed of two parts of unequal height (three and four stories per the two segments) owing to its adjustment to the hilly terrain. Furthermore it is "bent" at a kind of pivot point marked by a domed library, a pool, and a spire. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The building was widely criticized upon completion for the tiers of non-structural segmental arches that screen balconies on the sides of the building and for decorative flourishes (see facade detail above) that were wildly at odds with the rigorous Cartesian geometries of late modernism (as in Mies van der Rohe's Seagram Building, for instance). Wright wanted a golden roof that would have handsomely blended the building into the brownish landscape but this was denied by his clients and, following his death, Mrs. Wright made the decision to have the roof painted sky blue.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The genius of the building lies in its experiential qualities: Because the site was originally rural and remote Wright conceived the building entirely around automobile access. There are three large segmental arched openings at ground level through which one drives to parking lots beyond and under which it is possible to drop off passengers. These arched openings are truly cavernous but in a way that is humanized, even gendered. Overhead, between the arches, the building opens up into an elongated three story skylit atrium reminiscent of the Larkin Building's light court but curvilinear and fluid -- not a commercial enterprise but a place for the citizens of Marin County (or anyone) to come for a driver's or marriage license, a court case, or a records search. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In the summer of 1994 the Martin House Restoration Corporation purchased the George Barton House from Harvard University. How did this happen? Eric and Eleanor Larrabee originally purchased the Barton House in the late 1960s when Eric was appointed Provost of Arts and Letters at the University of Buffalo under the incoming president Martin Meyerson (for whom the University obtained the nearby Martin House). </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Eleanor Larrabee, who studied architecture at Harvard under Walter Gropius, was employed by the firm of Warner, Burns, Toan and Lunde </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">in Manhattan (</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">architects of the Rockefeller Library at Brown University and the Olin Library at Cornell) but the Larrabees maintained the Barton House as a second residence throughout the 1970s and 80s. After Eric passed away in 1990 Eleanor made an annuity arrangement with Harvard that involved ownership of the Barton House. When she died in 1997, following an automobile accident in Manhattan, the Martin House Restoration Corporation was able to purchase the house thanks to three inspired citizens, Robert Wilmers, Robert Rich, and Stanford Lipsey. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Since the Barton House was uninhabited my wife and I were asked to live there and we did so for a year -- a rare opportunity for me as a Wright scholar. I gave numerous tours and spent a lot of time just experiencing the house. The Barton House is based upon the J.J. Walser House in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago, designed in 1901 by Wright and under construction in 1902 by Elmer E. Andrews, the brother-in-law of William R. Heath another Buffalo client of Wright. One of the interesting aspects of the Barton House is that it represented an opportunity for Wright to re-work a design and enhance it. Nevertheless, the Barton House is a house of walls unlike the pier-constructed principal Martin House designed in 1904 and 1905. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">After considerable scrutiny over time I realized that Wright treated the walls of the Barton House as framed panels much like framed pictures. The wall surfaces were fields of textured plaster tinted with autumnal colors and glazed with clear varnish. The enframing members consist of three pieces of flat sawn oak, the first, a 5/16" wide and 11/16" deep fillet, is the most prominent. Abutted to it is a 1" wide strip recessed 5/8" in from the fillet, and adjacent to that is a half inch strip that rises 7/16" from the wall surface. This framing panel is itself framed by 2 5/8" door frames and 4" horizontal scale moldings. The elements are simple but the overall effect is one of taut containment of every surface and every room, something that would change significantly in the Martin House as Wright dispensed with walls in favor of a skeletal construction system if brick piers.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Often, especially in the ceiling, the central panel would be of a darker hue than the surface around it so that the panel would float as though detached. In its current state (see pictures below) the Barton House bears a color scheme loosely devised by Eleanor Larrabee after Wright's colors but lightened, owing to the darkness of the house, and painted in flat latex colors with none of the luminosity of Wright's method. These surfaces are due to be restored. I should add that Eleanor Larrabee was a wonderful steward of the house who carefully preserved every piece of shim and every little screw that appeared to be original to the house. As a result the Barton House is among the most pristine of any of Wright's prairie houses anywhere.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As Mrs. Wright once noted, Wright had extraordinary powers of absorption. Very few of his followers had these powers but among them the Venetian architect, Carlo Scarpa, stands out. Very much his own man, Scarpa greatly admired Wright and remains one of the few who were able to absorb aspects of Wright's work without merely imitating him. At the entrance to the Olivetti store under the arcade of the Piazza San Marco in Venice Scarpa emblazoned the wall with his own version of the squared spiral. Scarpa and Wright met when Wright was in Venice to pursue the Masieri Chapel commission.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">One of the traditions in American housing that Frank Lloyd Wright sought to change was the abrupt difference between the exterior -- brick, clapboard, stucco -- and the interior -- wallpaper, wood paneling, or painted plaster. The Darwin Martin house is a particularly good example of the way that Wright made the interior and the exterior continuous. The first image (fig. 1) was taken in the dining room looking outward to the north. The Roman brick pier travels five feet within the interior and then four more feet beyond. In fact the Roman brick exterior of the house is continued throughout the house on the ground floor. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Wright further enhanced the inside-outside continuity by repeated certain motifs within and without. For instance, on the front facade of the George Barton House (fig. 2) a Roman brick extrusion serves as a flower box above which there are three windows, a large clear pane flanked by two narrow art glass windows. Inside the house in the dining room this motif is repeated (fig. 3) in the form of the oak buffet above which is a large mirror flanked by two art glass doors.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">One of the unique features of the Martin House front facade (fig. 4) is a pair of two-story Roman brick columns on either side of two lesser columns all four of which seem to emerge from somewhere below grade behind a low brick cheek wall. In the entrance hall within the house (fig. 5) Wright reiterates the motif with two hefty oak piers that emerge from the basement level behind a low balustrade and rise up to the level of the beam that runs throughout the main floor at the height of 6 feet 5 inches. (This has only become apparent as our architects, Hamilton Houston Lownie, P.C. have reconstructed the entire stair assembly.)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The photograph above has long been identified as Isabelle Martin wearing a dress designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. In fact it may be her daughter, Dorothy but that is beside the point. A document on Department of Art, University of California Berkeley letterhead with the title "Conversation with Darwin Martin, Jr., on April 12, 1979" but unsigned, includes the following:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">[The] Conservatory was Mrs. Martin's idea: she loved flowers, and used them in abundance to give warmth to what she (or certainly he) considered to be a cold house. The photograph of her in a dress like a [John Singer] Sargent portrait: the dress is not by Wright at all (that's bullshit!); it is by Ivan Ivanovitch (??) a friend and student of Sargeant."</span></i><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The document is intriguing given that Wright is known to have designed dresses for his wife, Catherine, and it enhances the idea that Wright would design <i>everything</i> if allowed by his clients. According to Daniel I. Larkin his grandfather had to stop Wright from designing the telephones and wastebaskets of the Larkin Administration Building. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I found Darwin R. Martin unreliable in our meetings when he visited Buffalo. He told me that Wright designed the Larkin R,S & T Building when it was definitely designed and built by the Lockwood, Greene and Company of Brooklyn which specialized in reinforced concrete framed "daylight factories." [see Reyner Banham, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 27px;"><i>A Concrete Atlantis: U.S. Industrial Building and European Modern Architecture, 1900-1925</i> (1986)] </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He also said that the William R. Heath House was initially designed by William Heath and the contractor, Oscar S. Lang, but Heath brought in Wright to help them out. That is fiction. Martin Jr. and his sister had an intense dislike of Wright because he was the recipient of so much generosity from Darwin Martin -- possibly as much as $60,000 over the years. When Darwin Martin died during the Depression Wright ignored the destitute Mrs. Martin.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In order to teach the history of architecture at the university level it is necessary to have a specialty and a PhD but also to be able to teach knowledgeably about the entire history of architecture as well as surveys of periods. This means that one often has to teach buildings known only through images in books, usually an elevation and a first floor plan. Consequently it is particularly exciting after five or ten or more years of teaching to finally visit one of the great monuments of architectural history. Professor Paulo Fujioka has been teaching, among other things, American architecture at the University of San Paulo, Brazil, for seven years and finally got to tour the U.S. this month to see the work of Frank Lloyd Wright (a favorite among others) in Chicago, Wisconsin, Pittsburgh, and Buffalo. The weather here has been perfect all week. Paolo's reaction to the Darwin Martin House defies description but I enjoyed showing him the house because I have had that first-time experience often at places like the Villa Savoie, the Parthenon, the Glasgow Art School, etc. Suddenly it is there, it is real and palpable. Instead of staring at a page you can experience the building fully, with all your senses. So Paulo's visit was a vicarious thrill for me, and his Brazilian students will be so much better off for his experience. We toured all the Wright sites and he toured downtown as well but we also had the unique pleasure of joining Sandra Firmin and Tra Bouscaren, co-curators of an exhibition entitled "My Future Ex" (17 local and international artists at eleven sites around Buffalo from Sept 17 through November 23), along with artist Kamau Patton aboard a barge on the Buffalo River where Kamau is preparing a performance "Float My Resident" that will involve numerous UB dancers and</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;"> a series of sonic compositions by Kamau from signals gathered from antenna
processed through a computer and routed through a sound amplification system
located on the pontoon and barge. It all happens tonight </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;">from
River Fest Park to Mutual Riverfront Park and Silo City starting at seven today. Meanwhile Paulo is off to New York city to do some research among Columbia University's newly acquire Frank Lloyd Wright archives.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the early 1980s I began making periodic visits to Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Arizona, to research a book on the Larkin Administration building. Because the Frank Lloyd Wright archives (22,000 drawings and nearly 200,000 documents) were only recently opened to such research I was provided a room and was given meals along with everyone else in the Taliesin Fellowship, a substantial group of architects, students, support staff and various others. The apprentices and students cooked the meals on a rotating basis much as they had since the start of the Fellowship in1932 and everyone ate together except for Mrs. Wright who was then quite elderly and partially blind. I was surprised when, after a few days, Wes Peters, sat next to me at breakfast and proceeded to regale me with stories about his experiences out there in Arizona. This was a man who had married Mrs. Wright's daughter, Svetlana, subsequently killed in an automobile crash, and later married Svetlana Alliluyeva daughter of Joseph Stalin so I listened to him through a scrim of recollections of the Cold War in the 1950s when as school kids we had to practice getting under our desks (in Keene, New Hampshire, a likely Soviet target) in case "they" dropped an atomic bomb on us. Wes was a big strapping fellow who liked to talk about going out in the desert to shoot javalinas but he told one story that I especially appreciated because it was the re-telling of one that Wright told him that dated back to 1903. Wright designed a second Hillside Home School in 1902 for his aunts Nell and Jane to replace the wooden building that he designed for them in 1887 but this one is made out of that warm, yellow-brown dolomitic sandstone </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">local to southern Wisconsin </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Wright was then living in Oak Park, Illinois, and left the construction of the new school up to an old but trusted mason whose name was Kramer, as I recall. Wright would periodically visit to supervise. As a finishing touch, Kramer carved a cornerstone inscribed "FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT ARCHITECT 1903." Wright vehemently objected saying "I don't do that," by which he meant that his work announced itself as his and needed no labels. Kramer simply answered, "But I do," and the cornerstone has been there ever since.</span><br />

the University of Adelaide, Australia, has just published <u>On Frank Lloyd
Wright’s Concrete Adobe: Irving Gill, Rudolph Schindler and the American Southwest</u>
(Ashgate Press, 2013), a study of Hollyhock House and the four concrete block

Taylor, the founders of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Building, </i>a
building construction magazine that existed in various forms from 1907 to 1972.
The powerful, energetic, and conservative Taylors traveled to the United States
in 1914 in search of material for their publication. The Taylors spent time in
Chicago meeting many of the Prairie School architects familiar to them by way
of the Griffins.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then, on to Buffalo.
According to Johnson’s research they found the Larkin Building “bleak-looking”
and “mausoleum-like,” “designed by a soulless engineer.” Upon returning to
Chicago they finally met Wright who showed them photographs and drawings of the
Larkin Building. The Taylors apparently expressed their reservations about the
building to which Wright admitted that it did have a<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</tbody></table>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A committee of the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy has been working on <span style="color: black;"><i>Key Works of Modern
American Architecture by Frank Lloyd Wright, </i>a serial nomination of ten Wright buildings as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2003. When the ten buildings were chosen I was not on the committee but when I eventually joined I was dismayed to learn, and objected, that the Darwin Martin House was not included, especially considering that the Martin House closely follows the basic plan configuration of Wright's prototype Prairie House, "A Home in a Prairie Town" of 1901 and the whole Martin complex represents five variations on that basic cross-axial scheme. The sole representative of the Prairie House on the World Heritage nomination is the Frederick C. Robie house in Chicago. People who have toured both sites -- one a relatively brief experience, the other easily filling two hours --cannot understand how the Robie House was chosen. A major reason has to do with the portion of the guidelines of the World Heritage Site commission that have to do with Authenticity and Integrity. These are rigorous (and were made even more so in 2007). A portion of the guideline on Authenticity reads:</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>In relation to authenticity, the reconstruction of archaeological remains or historic buildings or districts is justifiable only in exceptional circumstances. Reconstruction is acceptable only on the basis of complete and detailed documentation and to no extent on conjecture.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As for Integrity here is some of the language:</span><br />
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Integrity is a measure of the wholeness and intactness of the natural and/or cultural heritage and its attributes. Examining the conditions of integrity, therefore requires assessing the extent to which the property:</i></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>b) is of adequate size to ensure the complete representation of the features and processes which convey the property’s significance;</i></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>c) suffers from adverse effects of development and/or neglect.</i></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>This should be presented in a statement of integrity.</i></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>the aesthetic qualities of the property.</i></span></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">The issue with the Martin House lies with the demolition in the 1960s of the pergola, conservatory, and carriage house, </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">and their eventual reconstruction using new materials and painstaking research based upon Wright's drawings, photographs, artifacts and extensive letters.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The omission of the Martin House remains a sore point in some quarters, particularly in the light of the inclusion on the World Heritage List nomination of the Marin County Civic Center which was built entirely posthumously between 1959 and 1964. Perhaps, one day, the Martin House will be nominated as a World Heritage Site on its own.</span><br />

On Saturday, August 3, 2013, an art glass panel from the Martin House living room skylight—an object which had been held previously by an
anonymous couple from suburban Buffalo—was sold at auction (<a href="http://www.schultzauctioneers.net/Auction12.htm">Schultz Auctioneers of Clarence, New York, Lot 0411</a>) for $80,000 to a local
agent working on behalf of a private collector.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
bidding was fast and furious and, within minutes, it was clear that this rare
and beautiful piece of Frank Lloyd Wright-designed iridescent glass—an emblem of
the Martin House and its significance as a world, class architectural
masterpiece—would not be returning home that day to its rightful place of
origin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHk6kA0n0TMtP8FMf2ah_fZw3Beu9VyLLdjuIQ_yHH3JTNnSaIY-RiDqJmR8jwRW8KsfmyyLNzhtNdo_RkHR4RmH2QYiW5_gKJq4FZpQLWkHFHiqu5gzsV0cRZlFNv0Q43BrWuwwIbHLU/s1600/Lot+%230411.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHk6kA0n0TMtP8FMf2ah_fZw3Beu9VyLLdjuIQ_yHH3JTNnSaIY-RiDqJmR8jwRW8KsfmyyLNzhtNdo_RkHR4RmH2QYiW5_gKJq4FZpQLWkHFHiqu5gzsV0cRZlFNv0Q43BrWuwwIbHLU/s320/Lot+%230411.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Marked by the symbolic banging of the gavel, the moment was undeniably
poignant; looking back we realize that this auction, much like others that have
come before it, neither signals the beginning nor the end of the Martin House
story.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rather, it is on such occasions,
that we reflect on our achievements, both past and present, which in sum have
led architectural authorities to call the Martin House one of the most
ambitious and well-executed restoration efforts of its kind.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now, more than ever, the Martin House confidently reaffirms
the strength and soundness of its board-approved collections policy which clearly
guides us through all aspects of the acquisition process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Simply put, it is our goal whenever possible to identify, locate, and purchase authentic, original Martin House items if it is cost
effective, affordable, and if donors are in a position to assist us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With that said, our policy does not generally
allow us to acquire art glass, furnishings, or other decorative elements at prices
that exceed the actual cost of replication.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>At times, this may result in our inability to successfully bid at
auction; it also means, however, that as an organization we are unwilling to participate
in the aggressive, over inflation of an object’s perceived market value, particularly
if it precludes us from staying true to our core mission: to restore <a href="http://www.darwinmartinhouse.org/">Frank Lloyd Wright's Martin House Complex</a> and to preserve, interpret, and promote it
well.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Martin House is extremely grateful to its community of
supporters—board, staff, volunteers, and affiliates, as well as private,
corporate, and government funders—many of whom have voiced their concerns,
offered their advice and counsel, and above all championed our ongoing
restoration project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We thank all of you
profoundly. We are especially proud and
deeply appreciative of the Manning Family Foundation who in recent days came forward
to assist us by committing a substantial, unrestricted donation on behalf of
our art glass restoration efforts. <a href="http://www.darwinmartinhouse.org/membership.cfm"><span id="goog_1559422330"></span>Donations</a> <span id="goog_1559422331"></span>in support of the restoration at large, or for art glass, in particular are always welcome. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

In his seminal article, “<a href="http://connection.ebscohost.com/c/articles/32812978/dismembering-frank-lloyd-wright">Dismembering Frank Lloyd Wright</a>,”
author Donald Hoffmann writes one of the most compelling arguments against the
commodification of Wright-designed objects.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>“Architecture,” he reminds us, “seems the most substantial of the arts
but proves one of the least enduring.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In the case of Frank Lloyd Wright, “the dismemberment of his buildings,
physically and intellectually, into mere fragments…represents nothing so much
as a contradiction in terms, a violation of the whole spirit of his art, or its
spirit as a whole.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
We remain encouraged
that through continued communication and outreach we may ultimately identify
and reunite other displaced original objects back where they belong—inside the
Martin House.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By doing so, we hope that other
public and private collectors will emerge and join the growing ranks of Martin
House heroes—much like <a href="http://www.nyu.edu/greyart/">New York University’s Grey Art Gallery</a>, the
<a href="http://www.albrightknox.org/">Albright-Knox Art Gallery</a>, and individuals such as <a href="http://buffalorising.com/2011/07/carriage-house-window-donated-back-to-martin-house/">Nan and Will Clarkson</a>, among
others—who have each in their own way contributed to the enrichment of our
collections and the project’s overall success.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The story of the creation of Usonia, in Peasantville, New
York, has been ably told in Roland Reisley’s book <u>Usonia, New York: Building
a Community with Frank Lloyd Wright</u> (Princeton Architectural Press,
2001).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Usonia the community <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>was the brainchild of David Henken, an
architect who served an apprenticeship with Wright in the early 1940s and
approached Wright about designing the Westchester County community for 47
families in 1946. Wright designed three of the houses, the rest were designed
by Henken and numerous other progressive architects. The Reisley House (1951)
was the last of the three by Wright. I had visited and toured the house briefly
on two occasions in the past but this time my mission was to ask Roland
questions of a phenomenological nature, that is, I was seeking insights of a
direct experiential nature, insights that are not only about the visual but
those that involve the tactile, the sonic, and the kinesthetic. My project
turned out to be quite challenging. Coming from Buffalo where I have had a long
exposure to Wright’s local Prairie houses I found the geometries of the Reisley
House distracting as we talked but wonderful to experience. The planning grid consists of equilateral
triangles 40 inches on each side (as opposed to the square grid of the Martin
House). Such a grid offers a 120 degree angle for wide vistas but also narrow
60 degree angles that can be difficult to use. Roland commented that Wright was
ingenious at finding locations and uses for such angles. Wright made the triangle
the theme of the entire house with roofs, prows, balconies, and a 1955 addition
(for the children) all darting off in different directions from its lofty
wooded hillside site. As a result everything about the house is experienced on
the bias as opposed to the conventional rectangularity that most of us live with.
Moving through the house is akin to experiencing a jazz-like rhythm. While
negotiating this unconventional geometry everything – fine, horizontal cypress
walls and ceilings, panoramic windows, stone masses that glide effortlessly
past sheets of glass, cantilevered prow-shaped roofs – conspires to draw one's attention out into the surrounding landscape. Although this is not unusual in Wright's houses the sixty and one hundred and twenty degree angles feel more natural and engaging. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">On January 2 this year I posted a blog that included this statement:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">"</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19px;"><i>I had a client once -- Darwin D. Martin -- he made the Larkin Company what it was when it was something; behind him on the table in the dining room was a big dictionary. After I had built the house, I was building other buildings and I used to dine there often, and this thing would come up and Mr. Martin would go over to that dictionary two or three times during a meal -- finding out. And he was a self-educated man; never went to college, didn't have much schooling: he was "the boy from Missouri [Valley]" that Elbert Hubbard wrote a piece about once. But his tireless, ceaseless curiosity concerning everything! And he became a remarkably educated man. He was a Christian Scientist, so far a religion went -- which was kind of a bar across his path -- but still he got somewhere; he was a religious man, and he was the man who had me do the Larkin building. So, the dictionary act is a thing I have inherited; I don't do it often enough. Every morning, we should </i></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 19px;"><i>have this dictionary behind here, because we are going to need it..." </i></span><br />

Who is this man? What more does he have to say in the rest of the manuscript? </i>and went on to speculate that it could have been Paul Mueller the supervisor of construction of the Larkin Building. </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 19px;">But several readers replied that they thought it had to be Wright himself and they were correct. A copy of the manuscript </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 19px;">fragment was sent to me in 2005 by Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer, the director of the Archives of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation to which the text should be credited except that in the interim the archives have been transferred to the Avery Architecture and Fine Arts Library at Columbia University where I suspect the rest of the manuscript can be found. It is indeed Wright and it indicates that several years after Martin's death Wright remembered, admired, and learned from the businessman he called his "best friend." </span><br />

Darwin Martin was born in Bouckville in 1865 where his father, Hiram, kept his cobbler shop in this cobblestone building until 1867. He then moved the family to a farm in Clayville, a village south of Utica. So Darwin, having left at age two, wouldn't have had a sense of the place though he would have passed it over the years as he traveled to Clayville from Buffalo to visit his mother's grave. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The building is interesting, however, in an idiosyncratic way. Cobblestone construction is common in western New York (especially on route 104) and so are octagon houses thanks to inventor-author-phrenologist from Fishkill, Orson Squire Fowler. In fact there is a cobblestone octagon house (see below) a few miles east of the Landmark Inn. What makes the Landmark building odd is that it has four sides arranged to face the crossroad (the Chenango canal ran by here too) but it is splayed open in such a way that four more sides wouldn't close in to form an octagon. Some of the upper windows are peculiar as well making the building a good example of folk architecture. It's a long way to Reisley's but we'll get there.</span><br />
