Frank Lloyd Wright's Influence On American Architecture

Architecture is a very important aspect of our daily lives, and one of the best Architects in the United States is Frank Lloyd Wright. On June 8, 1867, in Richard Center Wisconsin, Frank Lloyd Wright was born. Wright was sent to work on the family farm, at the young age of 11. In 1884 conflict between his parents was the cause of their divorce. Wright attended university for less than a semester, after which he decided to move to chicago spontaneously in 1887. In Chicago, Wright acquires a job as a draftsmen but quickly asks to work for Louis Sullivan (the best architect in Chicago). In 1888 Frank Lloyd Wright takes an apprenticeship with Louis Sullivan. At a church function Wright met a woman named Katherine (Kitty) and married her in 1889.
Wright’s first home was built in 1889. Wright worked on projects without the knowledge of Sullivan and was subsequently fired in 1893, after Sullivan discovered the moonlighting that was going on.
After Wright got back onto his feet his business boomed and he designed 135 prairie houses in the span of 10 years (1900-1909). In 1906 Wright built his largest Commission; The Larkin Building. Wright met another woman, and left his wife and children to go to Europe with his new love in 1909. After a few year he decided to move back to the US with the mistress and they settled in Wisconsin in 1911. On August 5, 1914, a servant that was going to be fired went on a murderous rampage and killed Wrights mistress, children, and friends that were in the Wisconsin House.
