A photographic guide to Frank Lloyd
Wright extant structures
Florida Southern
College Faculty Housing/future Visitor Center –
McDonald St. between
College & Johnson Ave., Lakeland, Florida
Wright designed faculty housing as
part of the Child of the Sun
campus for Florida Southern. Two designs were created – one-bedroom and
two-bedroom. These designs went unbuilt at the time.
The college decided a few years ago to
build one of these designs to house a visitor center. These photos show part of
the construction process and give a glimpse of the colors and designs that will
be incorporated into the structure. The
visitor center is scheduled to be completed in late 2011 or early 2012.
An excellent website with a chronicle
of the construction can be found at http://www.buildingtheusonianhouse.com/. I highly recommend it. That site does a much better job than mine.
