Photos from our May 14 lecture on Passion and Pain: The Pride and Pertubations of Owning and Maintaining FLW Buildings. The evening event was part of our new lecture series, "The Wright Connections - Then and Now,” in collaboration with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. Moderated by Emily Butler, Associate Vice President of Partnerships & Strategic Initiatives at the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, the panel discussion featured Charles Quagliana, consulting Preservation Architect to FUS for more than 30 years; Ryan Hewsen, Preservation Director at the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation; and Elliot Butler, owner of the Pew House.
The Frank Lloyd Wright Trail was established in 2017 to honor Frank Lloyd Wright, America's most famous architect, in his home state of Wisconsin. Along the 200-mile trail are nine sites chosen to provide architectural enthusiasts and casual visitors with a rich exposure to Wright’s genius.
The scenic trail traverses through nine counties in southern Wisconsin and includes Madison, Milwaukee, Racine, Richland Center, and Spring Green, offering dining, hiking, arts, and cultural opportunities. Each site is unique and provides different experiences for visitors.
