Taliesin, Frank Lloyd Wright’s house, studio, and estate near Spring Green, Wisconsin, was developed from 1911 onward on land tied to his mother’s family and became a leading expression of Prairie School and organic architecture. Set into the brow of a hill in the Driftless Area, it used local materials, low lines, and sheltered spaces to blend with the landscape. The estate’s history included the 1914 murders and fire that destroyed part of the house, a second major fire in 1925, foreclosure and recovery in 1927–1928, and the founding of the Taliesin Fellowship in 1932. It remained Wright’s principal home and workshop and later gained national and international recognition.
