Hometown Architect
By Patrick F. Cannon
144 pages; Hardcover - $35.00

To the neighbors, friends and associates who hired Wright to design and remodel their homes, shops and a house of worship in Oak Park and River Forest, he was a hometown architect. Author Patrick F. Cannon, veteran interpreter for the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust, presents all 28 Wright-designed buildings of the area, tracing the chronology of the architect’s development, commenting on his relationships with his clients, and noting the characteristics that make each structure unique. James Caulfield’s ninety-plus color photographs, most never before published, provide the experience of a private tour.
