FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT CLIENT NAMES
Frank Lloyd Wright had 685 known clients. A given client may have commissioned one or several projects from
the architect. This search approach sorts Wright projects
alphabetically by the last name of the client, and provides
links to project information and all related project
drawings detailed in the database. Wright also produced a
great deal of work for his own purposes, essentially as his
own client. References to the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio in Oak Park, Illinois, Taliesin estate at Spring Green, Wisconsin, and Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Arizona, as well as other more temporary residences and studios (e.g., Chicago,
New York, Italy, Tokyo, Japan) will be found indexed under his own name.
