Taliesin West designed by L. Wright is a building he made on a hill from his childhood and used it as his house. What many people do not know, is that this is not his original work. In 1914, his wife and 6 other people were murdered in this house by a servant who worked here. After she killed them, she burnt the house down. Years later, Wright decided to rebuild it so his family could use it once again. This house was also used for Wright's many ideas of structures to build around the world, and where he was inspired by the nature around it as a child. It is located in Wisconsin, near Spring Green and is still there today. The house had three wings; living quarters, Wright's office, and the last wing was a farm. The Taliesin Preservation Inc. has gone through the Taliesin and restored it, repairing anything that needed to be fixed so they could preserve Wright's home. This building is apart of America's history because it was Wright's creation and where he thought of the different architects he created during his life time.
Wright's designs are always amazing. I like this building because it's not your typical house. There's different cultures in it, which is why I think I like it. You can tell a lot of Asian in it because of some of the art he has chosen to put there and the way he designed parts of the house. Looking through pictures that were taken after this building was complete, its really neat to see the changes in it now. The Taliesin Preservation Inc. really did a good job at keeping what they could for the house to leave Wright's impression in it, and by updating the house so it could be around longer without rotting away.
