Frank Lloyd Wright At Florida Southern College


Recommended Posts

A decade-plus restoration project is underway, along with Frank Lloyd Wright's massive "Water Dome" finally materializing as it originally should have.

The campus has 12 Wright buildings - plans were made for 6 more that were never built.

There is also a neat slideshow with the article.

Among Florida's many distinctions, here's one you probably didn't know: It's home to the largest collection of buildings designed by acclaimed architect Frank Lloyd Wright on a single site. But time and the Florida elements have not been kind to the 12 Wright buildings, located on the campus of Florida Southern College.

So the college has begun restoration of the buildings, which Wright designed and built over a 20-year period, from the 1930s to the '50s, on its campus in Lakeland.
