Save Wright

I’m not a art historian by any means but the countless hours that I have spent in a dark room looking at slides of art and architecture (trying to stay awake) have given me an appreciation for art history and the importance of preserving it. So, the reason I post this is because there is a Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy that is trying to raise enough money to preserve the last standing hotel designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

The Park Inn Rehabilitation
Golden Opportunity, Grave Challenge

Mason City, Iowa, has the only remaining hotel designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. On the divide between the Larkin Building and the Unity Temple in his Prairie period and Midway Gardens and the Imperial Hotel soon to come, it shares features of each period and predicted the latter in its massing. In gradually deteriorating condition since 1922, the resolution of its present live or die situation is underway in the hands of Wright on the Park, Inc. (WOTP), newly formed to come to its rescue.
