A message from Eric Lloyd Wright
Dear Friend,
My grandfather Frank Lloyd Wright's contribution to architecture is
legendary. Much of his work was directed to answering one question:
How can architecture improve the life of the average American and make
it more beautiful? He began considering that question as a young man
while he lived and worked in Oak Park, Illinois, and he explored answers
to it with passion and innovation throughout his life.
My association with the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust began
early in its history, when I became involved with its fine restoration
of the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio. Through its restoration
and education programs, the Preservation Trust fosters an appreciation
of architecture and the legacy of one of the twentieth century's foremost
architects.
As an architect and a member of the Preservation Trust's Honorary
Board, I ask you to join me in supporting the Preservation Trust's mission.
Your tax-deductible gifts will help ensure that Wright's aesthetic
vision is brought to the widest possible audience, and two of his most
remarkable buildings – his first Home and Studio and the Frederick
C. Robie House – continue to fire imaginations and take our thinking
in new directions.
Sincerely,
Eric Lloyd Wright
Honorary Board Member
Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust
