NEW BOOK NOW AVAILABLE!
Marion Mahony and Millikin Place
by Paul Kruty and Paul E. Sprague
The Walter Burley Griffin Society Of America has just released a new book:
Marion Mahony and Millikin Place: Creating a Prairie School Masterpiece, written by Paul Kruty and Paul E. Sprague. Price: $29.95
The book tells the tale of the creation of a private street in central Illinois. It does so in a variety of ways: by examining the history of the site, the record of the design and construction, and the lives of the owners and architects who made it possible. This narrative - the development of a district on the west side of Decatur and its ramifications for the architectural world well beyond its borders - brings together three of the greatest modern architects practicing in early 20th century Chicago: Frank Lloyd Wright, Marion Lucy Mahony, and Walter Burley Griffin. Nearly every page contains factual material never before published, while much of the rest is to be found only in a wide range of obscure sources. Here for the first time a complete account of Millikin Place and its legacy are available in a single volume.
The book, Marion Mahony and Millikin Place, is available directly from the Walter Burley Griffin Society Of America. You can order your copies by contacting Peter Griffin (wbgsociety@charter.net).
