The Charnley-Persky House, on the Gold Coast, was designed by Louis Sullivan and his student, Frank Lloyd Wright. Or was it? Even though the house went up in 1891 when Wright was only a junior draftsman, Wright later claimed that he was the sole designer of the influential building. Tonight’s lecture will explain “the design of the house and its urban context [and] explore the question of the house's authorship (Louis Sullivan versus Frank Lloyd Wright), unusual aspects of its interior design, the role the Charnleys may have had in developing the scheme, and important relationships between this design and other work of the period.” The fun starts for free at 6 p.m. at the Arts Club of Chicago. more ›
