A major step in the restoration of the Frank Lloyd Wright - designed Richards Small House at 2714 W. Burnham St. in Milwaukee took place Saturday and Monday October 18 and 20 when the porch roof and its framework were removed. The house was designed in 1915, and completed in 1916, with an open porch. The porch was enclosed by a later owner, in 1939. The restoration, which is funded in part by a Save America's Treasures grant, includes bringing the porch back to its original design. The restoration is a project of the home's owner, Wright in Wisconsin. The group, whose board I serve on, also owns two of the four duplexes on the block. There are no immediate plans for restoration of those two buildings. There are six Wright American System-Built homes on the block, making it a unique collection of Wright's work. |
