This weekend, a selection Frank Lloyd Wright’s buildings joined the Unesco World Heritage List. The listing, named the 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, includes eight buildings across the United States:
- Unity Temple (Oak Park, IL)
- Robie House (Chicago, IL)
- Taliesin (Spring Green, WI)
- Herbert and Katherine Jacobs House (Madison, WI)
- Fallingwater (Mill Run, PA)
- Hollyhock House (Los Angeles, CA)
- Taliesin West (Scottsdale, AZ)
- Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (New York, NY)
I am excited to see so many of my favorites on this list (and I can’t wait to visit the ones I haven’t!). Have you visited any? Which are on your bucket list?

I did, such an interesting story! Wright’s efforts to design affordable houses are fascinating. Also so cool that he would take on projects of that size after designing buildings like Fallingwater. Say what you want about him but he was not averse to a good challenge!
