Two homeowners will explore answers to this question when they share the unique experiences of building, owning, and restoring Wright houses in “Original Client and New Stewards,” part one of “Still Outside the Box,” a lecture series on the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright sponsored by Woodlawn/Pope-Leighey, historic sites of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

 

For sixty years Roland Reisley, an original Wright client, has owned and maintained the 1951 Reisley residence, one of three Wright houses in Usonia, a community near Pleasantville, NY.

 

In 2002, Steve Sikora purchased the endangered Malcolm Willey House in Minneapolis. He stabilized and meticulously restored the house over a period of six years.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jane King Hession, former president of the Frank Lloyd Wright Conservancy, will moderate the session and a question and answer period will follow.

 

Cost: $15 per person. National Trust members: $10 per person. Please note that there will be no physical tickets. We will have a guest manifest at the door.
