Description
Exterior view of the F.C. Bogk house in Madison, Wisconsin designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and built in 1916-17. "This house was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and executed under his supervision. It was built in 1916-1917, in the so-called Japanese years of Wright's career … The house is a two-story masonry building. The main portion of the house is rectangular with a rectangular east wing. It measures 47 feet (including the projecting dining room alcove) x 76 feet 6 inches in length … The wall material is a tan tapestry brick and trimmed with precast concrete. The brickwork has wide, raked horizontal mortar joints and tinted and filled vertical joints. The building presents typical Wright details in the strong horizontal lines, geometric patterns, deep-set windows, and wide overhanging eaves. The lintels, sills, and capstones are precast concrete. The wooden windows and trim are painted a 'Wright red,'"--Historic Structures website.
