Frank LLoyd Wright Archives Commission Numbers

John Geiger identified over 6,300 Frank Lloyd Wright project drawings in his database. The Frank Lloyd Wright Archives is the primary source for the bulk of Wright project drawings. The inventory system developed by the Wright Archives plays an important role in understanding notes and other references found throughout the Geiger database. This search presents projects and drawing numbers according to the Wright Archives assignments. Drawings held in other collections may appear integrated into the scheme by Geiger through speculative placement indicated with a question mark.

PROJECT NUMBERS IN SEQUENCE


Note: In their original organization, the drawings and other architectural records found in the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives were assigned a project number composed of the last two digits of the year and the estimated sequence of the project within that year (e.g. 0611, referring to 1906 and what was considered the 11th commission that year, applied to Unity Temple in Oak Park, Illinois). The project numbers assigned by this system have been subject to some revisions due to further research or decisions to group materials by the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives, something that is most visible in the three volumes of Frank Lloyd Wright: The Complete Works (Taschen). The search results here reflect the Wright Archives system as John Geiger knew it.
