Summary:

"As hard as it is to imagine, about one hundred of Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings -- one of every five built -- have been demolished. Houses, apartment buildings, and recreation and business structures all succumbed to real estate pressures, changing tastes, or sheer neglect. 'Frank Lloyd Wright's Lost Buildings' is the first book to trace some of these major losses. Poignant illustrations document Wright's monumental achievements that are no longer around: the world-renowned Imperial Hotel, the festive Midway Gardens, the awe-inspiring Larkin Building. Formative, early designs by the young architect -- a boathouse, a golf club, a courtyard apartment building -- briefly come back to life, along with the architect's own desert camp and houses that helped Wright gain worldwide fame."--Front flap of book jacket.
