Frank Lloyd Wright's San Francisco Office and the Story of its Remarkable Travels

How did Frank Lloyd Wright's San Francisco field office, established with his protégé, Aaron Green in 1951, travel from its rented second-floor San Francisco building to Erie, Pennsylvania? Renowned Wright expert, Dr. Paul Turner, will describe the office's 30-year journey through a sale to Tom Monaghan, of Domino's; its exhibit (behind glass) in the Heinz Architectural Center/Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh; storage in warehouses; a purchase by James Sandoro, for his Buffalo Transportation Pierce-Arrow Museum; and a sale to Tom Hagen, for Erie's Hagen History Center, where the museum constructed a building around the legendary office that patrons walk through every day.

This lecture is in partnership with the Hagen History Center.
