My Wright Eye – September 6, 2024

© Mark Hertzberg (2024)

I have just finished helping lead my 17th Road Scholar Frank Lloyd Wright tour. The number is important because it speaks to my challenge to try to find something different to photograph each time I visit a familiar Wright commission. I look for something other than a literal building photo. Here is what I found this week at some of the buildings. They are shown in the order in which we visited the Wisconsin buildings in this Illinois / Wisconsin tour (a link to the itinerary is at the end of the post):

Looking up at the adjoining eaves of two Burnham Block duplexes, Milwaukee:
