Wright Before the Lloyd

Wright Before the Lloyd

Presented by Elmhurst Art Museum at Elmhurst Art Museum

The exhibit is a journey via images and artifacts highlighting exploratory work by the young architect “Frank L. Wright”. Many original materials were damaged and lost due to demolition, fire, and decay, but fragments were saved and reassembled by Chicago’s cultural historian Tim Samuelson. Cutting-edge technologies have made the designs whole again to tell this story of Wright’s youthful work of melding eclectic influences into a vital architecture of his own.
