Frank Lloyd Wright’s First Building

In 1953, six years before the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Guggenheim Museum opened to the public, two of the architect’s structures were built on the future site of the museum to house a temporary exhibition displaying his lifelong work.

From July 27, 2012 to February 13, 2013, the Guggenheim Museum will present A Long-Awaited Tribute: Frank Lloyd Wright’s Usonian House and Pavilion, an exhibition highlighting the first Wright buildings erected in New York City.
