Visitor center / administrative offices. Taliesin East. Spring Green, Wisconsin.
View of chimney as seen through roof aperture.
As it turns out, Taliesin East is located in the town of Wyoming, Wisconsin.
View from County Road C. House in distant background.
Riverview Terrace Cafe with stunning view of the Wisconsin River (through windows to right).
Taliesin East. Drafting Studios.
Barrel-vaulted storage shed. Metal Panel detail.
Best chocolate chip cookies ever. Wisconsin does cookies right.
Rock strata along county road. Remember, FLW grew up on the prairies of Wisconsin (see Kinney House at end of post). Influence?
Prairie grasses of Wisconsin.
There it is! Route 66.
Electric sign. Fennimore, Wisconsin.
I tried to get my hands on the biggest piece of cheese I could find in Wisconsin. Unfortunately, Igor wasn't having it.
Kinney House. Lancaster, Wisconsin. Projected eave.
Hexagonal masonry core (solid when viewed from front) opens to backside for view of country-side beyond. Notice complex stepped windows around roof line. Talk about craftsmanship.
As in Palmer House (Ann Arbor), glazing into masonry (seamless) with masonry wrapping to interior.
As has been remarked upon, I have yet to find a single FLW project without some entry-signaling condition. Here a stained concrete rhombus is supplemented with skylight and warmth of wood at the plan's hinge-point.
