Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio

The Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust in Oak Park, IL will conserve two architectural fragments – a capital and its supporting post – from the Henry Babson Residence. The Babson House was a masterpiece designed by Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright’s mentor. The fragments were salvaged from the ruins of the house when it was demolished in 1960. Once restored, these objects will be used in educational programming at the Frederick C. Robie house, a Wright-designed house museum in Chicago, to encourage the discussion of issues of long-term preservation of buildings and collections.
