American architect Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) was born in Richland Center, Wisconsin.

He designed about 1,000 structures and is considered the most influential architect of his time.

He became the leader of a style known as the Prairie School featuring houses with low-pitched roofs and extended lines that blend into the landscape.

He once wrote, “No house should ever be on any hill or on anything. It should be of the hill, belonging to it, so hill and house could live together, each the happier for the other.”
