Famed American architect Frank Lloyd Wright was a principle in the Prairie School movement of architecture at the turn of the 20th century. He was recognized in 1991 by the American Institute of Architects as "the greatest American architect of all time." This lantern is a replica of one designed by Wright for the Alice Millard House in Pasadena, California, circa 1923. It is an excellent example of a new technique he was exploring which he called his "textile block system", using organic and geometric patterns cast in concrete.
