Frank Lloyd Wright's Dana House

In Frank Lloyd Wrights Dana House, Donald Hoffman expertly scrutinizes a Wright residential masterpiece. Built in Springfield, Illinois in 1902-04, the Dana House was the largest and most ornamental dwelling Wright had constructed up to that time. Built for wealthy socialite Susan Lawrence Dana, the magnificent house (with its dynamic structure, decorative sculpture and innovative "prairie-style" lines) is captured in a handsome pictorial essay. Interior and exterior views, plans, elevations, sketches, studies, and more are depicted in over 160 rare photographs and line drawings, while a detailed, informative text documents the history and background of the building; its site, plans and construction; the elements and principles underlying its design and many other aspects of its creation. Frank Lloyd Wrights Dana House is a brilliant survey of one of Wrights finest structures and will be welcomed by students of architecture and is a "must" for any Frank Lloyd Wright collection.Hoffmann, Donald is the author of 'Frank Lloyd Wright's Dana House' with ISBN 9780486291208 and ISBN 0486291200.
