Frank Lloyd Wright Allen House, Wichita, Kansas
Inspired in part by the prairie landscape of the region and in part by Japanese architecture (he was also working on the Imperial Hotel in Japan at the time), Frank Lloyd Wright’s Prairie Style Allen House was designed in 1915 and built in 1917 for Henry J. and Elsie Allen. The house is located in the historic College Hill neighborhood in Wichita Kansas at 255 N. Roosevelt, Wichita, KS. Get tickets and tour dates and times at the FLW Allen House site here.

Autumn in Arkansas
Here are some pics from last fall when I drove a visiting friend around Arkansas to see Fayetteville and Crystal Bridges in Bentonville. Fayetteville is a cute, hill-y college town with a big cross at the overlook and Bentonville has an excellent museum, Crystal Bridges, featuring artists Jean-Michel Basquiat, Paul Cézanne, Dale Chihuly, Willem de Kooning, Keith Haring, Winslow Homer, Georgia O’Keeffe, Norman Rockwell, Mark Rothko, Andy Warhol, and many more. Entrance to Crystal Bridges is free and you can also walk on trails and tour a Frank Lloyd Wright house on the museum grounds.
