In the 1920s, as the career and vision of Frank Lloyd Wright grew, he began to probe new ideas and to bring his work westward. Beginning with a Frank Lloyd Wright design for George C. Stewart's Montecito house in 1909, and ending with the Marin Civic Center in 1957, Frank Lloyd Wright placed his signature on the California landscape. In total, more than 20 of the 400 buildings Frank Lloyd Wright designed are located here.
The work Frank Lloyd Wright did in California was so important that three of seventeen Frank Lloyd Wright structures designated by the American Institute of Architects as most representative of the Frank Lloyd Wright contribution to American culture are located here. These Frank Lloyd Wright buildings, along with four others designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, are accessible to the general public.
Most of the Frank Lloyd Wright's California work was private residences, but Frank Lloyd Wright also designed California office buildings, shops, and a government center. You can find Frank Lloyd Wright designs in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Palo Alto and San Rafael.
