Summary:

"The house that Frank Lloyd Wright designed for Frederick C. and Katherine G. Bogk in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1916 occupies a unique position in Wright's career: it is the only fully realized house designed in the teens that demonstrates his fascination with Primitivism, the use of non-Western sources as an inspiration for modern design. This book traces Wright's exploration alongside the stories of an immigrant family's rise and Milwaukee's emergence as a vibrant city. It also documents the interiors, relatively unchanged for over a century, that represent Wright's approach to total design." -- Publisher's website.
