THE FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT COLLECTION

"COONLEY I"

AVERY COONLEY PLAYHOUSE, RIVERSIDE, ILLINOIS 1912

 

Mrs Coonley, when asked by Mr. Wright why he had been selected as their architect, only needed four words: "The countenances of principle." Mr. Wright considered the Coonley complex in Riverside, Illinois to be the most successful of his prairie houses. Linear, rectangular and circular in concept. A free spirited movement of squares, rectangles - all in unequal dimensions - some vertical devices and circles amidst the whole - all in keeping with the architectural façade as well as interior décor. The subtle tones of earthen brown with mahogany, blue with a green cast and an alluring mellow gold add to the rhythm of the design
