A Chicago Landmark . . . in New York City?

Speaking of Chicago - and architecture - check out this beauty.  If you don't know what it is, then you need to check out our New York City educational tours.

Eh?  It's not in Chicago?  No, but stay with me.  This is the Guggenheim Museum in New York City.  It's an artistic masterpiece itself, designed with a sprawling downward spiral for the art lovers who view the amazing collection within.  And it's one of the premier art museums in the world.

So what is the connection to Chicago?  This building was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.  Frank Lloyd Wright is one of the most prominent architects in American history, and he began his solo career in Chicago.

You can visit the home he designed as well as his first studio at the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio in Chicago.  Here's what I appreciate about this guy.  He believed that beautifully designed buildings make a difference in our lives.

My husband and I plan to build a home one day.  Could I please get a list of all the contractors who graduated from that philosophy?
