Taliesin West

images[1]

Because of today’s lousy weather, we skipped the planned hike up Ford Canyon and drove into Scottsdale to tour Frank Lloyd Wright’s “Taliesin West”.

This served as Wright’s personal winter home, studio and architectural campus from the late 1930s until his death in 1959. Today the facility houses the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and an accredited architectural school, housing approximately 35 “apprentices” at a time for a 3-5 year program.

We took the 90-minute tour which we very much enjoyed. Beyond that, we’ll let the photos speak for themselves.
