Description
Interior view of balcony and spiral staircase at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and opened in 1961. "Wright's circular design uses two important elements from Greek Orthodox churches, the dome and the Greek cross. The shallow concrete dome (106 feet in diameter) is superimposed on a floor plan in the shape of a Greek cross; the Greek cross inscribed within a circle is a key design element in the details of the church as well,"--by Mary Ann Sullivan, Bluffton University.
