Milwaukee, December 8, 2006
-- A rare affordable
house on Milwaukee's south side, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in
1915, has been selected as one of 42 projects nationally for a Save
America's Treasures award this year. The dollar-for-dollar matching
grant is for $150,000 and will be used to restore the house to its
original 1915 appearance; the project is estimated to cost about
$370,000. The Frank Lloyd Wright Wisconsin Heritage Tourism Program,
which owns the dwelling, must raise the matching funds from
non-federal sources. |
