Description

Frank Lloyd Wright's Larkin Building is an iconic example of modern architecture, its demolition just 46 years after completion making Jack Quinan's study all the more valuable. This in-depth history draws on rare sources, including engineering documents and personal accounts, to reveal how Wright landed the commission and developed his innovative plans.

Quinan examines the Larkin Building as a structure at the center of economic and personal relationships, providing a concise but complete record of its conception, construction, evaluation, and eventual demolition. Illustrated with over 100 photographs, floor plans, maps, and diagrams, this book offers a detailed look at one of America's most significant architectural achievements.
