Frank Lloyd Wright In Montana

Helena resident Randall LeCocq makes a presentation based on his book, Frank Lloyd Wright in Montana, published by the Drumlummon Institute in 2013. He includes photographs from the Frank Lloyd Wright archives at the Montana Historical Society and Montana State Historic Preservation Office, and focuses on Wright's architectural style and his projects in Montana. These projects—important parts of Wright's architectural legacy and Montana history—include the 1909 Como Orchards Clubhouse and cabins in Darby, now part of Alpine Meadows Resort; the 1910 Bitter Root Town and clubhouse in Stevensville; and the 1959 Lockridge Medical Clinic, now the Morrison-Frampton Law Office, in Whitefish. LeCocq also addresses some unanswered questions on the uncompleted Bitter Root projects in the context of Montana's development schemes and Wright's personal life at the time. www.montanahistoricalsociety.org
