Frank Lloyd Wright writes to Senator Barry Goldwater
WRIGHT, Frank Lloyd (1867-1959). American architect, interior designer and writer. He designed more than 1,000 structures. Wright was the most influential architect of his time. He adapted his buildings to the local environment using the colors, forms and textures of nature to furnish the aesthetic as well as the functional requirements of those that would inhabit the structure. Wright's most notable structures are the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo (1922); Fallingwater in Mill Run, Pennsylvania (1936); and the Guggenheim Museum in New York City (1959), along with his homes Taliesin in Spring Green, Wisconsin (1911); and Taliesin West in Phoenix, Arizona (1938). He also wrote several books, including An Organic Architecture (1939), When Democracy Builds (1946), and An American Architecture (1955). Typed letter signed, one page, December 5, 1955 on his Taliesin letterhead. United States Senator from Arizona, Barry Goldwater, Washington, D.C. U.S.A. “Dear Senator Barry M. Goldwater.

We hope to see you in the desert for the Phoenix Open! Appreciation, frank Lloyd Wright Architect.”
