View of large tree in foreground with view of Taliesin in right background. Taliesin, located in Spring Green, Wisconsin was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and built starting in 1911. "There, on a sprawling 600-acre estate, Wright built Taliesin, a home that masterfully married architecture and design with the lovely, peaceful, rolling hills of the estate. For decades, until his death at 91 in 1959, Taliesin -- Welsh for "shining brow" -- was Wright's eastern headquarters. During the colder months in the later part of his life, he would stay at Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Ariz., but Wisconsin was in the heartland, where he did the bulk of his work, and Taliesin will forever be thought of by many as his true home,"--How Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin survived murder, fires, constant change, by Daniel Terdiman, August 17, 2013, on C|net.
