The
most personal look at Wright can be found by visiting Spring Green where
Wright began building his home, Taliesin®, a Welsh
term meaning "Shining Brow," in 1911. This 600-acre estate, which he constantly
revised until his death in 1959, represents the evolution of Wright's architectural
development which spanned over seventy years...
Wright was born in Richland Center, Wisconsin, in
1867. He spent his youth in Madison, where he attended
the University of Wisconsin. It was in Spring Green, Wisconsin where he chose
to make his home for most of his life.

The term Taliesin refers to Wright's personal residence
as well as the other buildings of Wright's design on the estate. The landscaped
grounds, roads, and ponds are also a part of Wright's overall architectural
composition. The major buildings on the Taliesin®
estate include: Romeo and Juliet Windmill (1896), Hillside Home School
(1901, 1932, 1952), Tan-y-deri House (1907), Midway Farms (1930s and 1940s),
as well as the Taliesin® residence itself (1911, 1914, 1925). |
