This Frank Lloyd Wright event features guided interior tours of private home and public buildings by Frank Lloyd Wright and his contemporaries.
Wright and Like 2019 takes us to Oostburg, Manitowoc and Two Rivers! From a Prairie Style house in a recently designated historic district to mid-century modern gems, this eight site tour is sure to delight. This is our first visit to the area and we're excited to introduce regional “Like” architects John Bloodgood Schuster and Earl F. Miller. You may not be familiar with these names, but you will appreciate their work. Schuster spent many years working with Russell Barr Williamson, a close associate of Frank Lloyd Wright, and you will see their influence in Schuster's designs. Miller was a Chicago-School trained architect at the turn of the 20th century with his own distinctive style.
Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum in Two Rivers will be the tour headquarters on Saturday and the site of our Sunday special event.
