🗓 June's Topic: Frank Lloyd Wright in Wichita
Presented by Nancy Davis.
Wichita proudly hosts two architectural gems designed by the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright (FLW): the Allen House in College Hill and the Corbin Education Center at Wichita State University. We’ll explore these remarkable buildings along with other local structures that have a connection to FLW or were influenced by his visionary designs. Dive into the fascinating reasons behind Mr. Wright's work in Wichita and his impact on the city's architectural landscape.
