The Living Room at Wingspread; Wingspread, headquarters of The Johnson Foundation, Inc. Racine, Wisconsin Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright
Published by McGrew Color Graphics, Kansas City, MO
Seller: Ground Zero Books, Ltd., Silver Spring, MD, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
First Edition
Post Card. Condition: Good. Alan Bagg (Photographer) (illustrator). The format is approximately 5.875 inches by 4.125 inches. Some wear. Color illustration (view of the living room of the house with a fire in the chimney) on one side. Reverse is mostly white space for address and messages with caption, photographer, and publisher information. Wingspread, also known as the Herbert F. Johnson House, a historic house in Wind Point, Wisconsin, was built in 1938-39 to a design by Frank Lloyd Wright for the president of S.C. Johnson, and was considered by Wright to be one of his most elaborate and expensive house designs to date. Set on a 36-acre property with a wooded ravine and pond, Wingspread sits across its gently rolling site, a site that Wright found "not at all stimulating until the house went up." Wingspread is the epitome of his âorganic' architecture. Its four wings spread out to embrace the prairie. Its primary materials of limestone, brick, stucco, and wood tie the house to the earth. At the center of the living room is a horizontal rise of a 30-foot chimney, with four fireplaces at the first level and a vertical fireplace on the second story (the mezzanine). The chimney of warm red brick is complemented by expanses of oak veneer and is bathed in the changing light from the overhead clerestory windows that surround the Great Hall. At night the living room glows like a fire-filled lantern. The most unique features of the design are the spiral staircase leading to the crow's nest and the Juliet balcony. Both of these features were design requests of the children who would later live in the home. The home is the last and largest Prairie-style home Frank Lloyd Wright designed. Wingspread stands near the center of the Wind Point peninsula, a triangular protrusion into Lake Michigan north of the city of Racine. The approximately 12 acres of landscaped grounds form an integral part of the architectural experience, having a landscaping plan also developed by Wright in emulation of a prairie setting. The house is approached from the north by a long winding drive. It consists of a central hub, from which four long arms radiate. Each of the wings originally housed a different function: parents' wing, children's wing, service wing, and guest wing, with the public spaces in the center. The hub appears as a domed structure, with clerestory windows on the sides, and a viewing platform at the top. The house was built in 1938-39. Its construction was overseen by a young John Lautner. Wright's client, Herbert Fisk Johnson Jr. was also a corporate client, for whom Wright designed the Johnson Wax Headquarters Building in Racine, which was built at about the same time. The house, at 14,000 sq feet, is one of the largest of Wright-designed homes. It is also considered to be the last of Wright's Prairie School inspired designs, and was one of his most expensive residential designs. The Johnson family donated the property to The Johnson Foundation in 1959 as an international educational conference facility. It is also open to the public for tours. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1989. Presumed First Edition, First printing with multiple originals.
