Taliesin Diary: A Year with Frank Lloyd Wright

With Sarah A. Leavitt.

In 1942, Priscilla J. Henken and her husband lived and apprenticed at Frank Lloyd Wright’s communal farm and architectural fellowship, Taliesin, in Wisconsin.

Henken’s children discuss their mother’s diary, which describes day-to-day life at Taliesen and sheds light on the giant of 20th century architecture and the clash of cultures represented by socialist Jewish New Yorkers and the Midwestern farm community.
