Let us now recommit ourselves to Wright the Roof so that it may inspire future generations. ” Due to deterioration, it became necessary to make repairs to the building, with such repairs beginning in the 1980s, the church having stated: “A celebrated aesthetic feature of Frank Lloyd Wrights original Meeting House design, the roof must be replaced and further supported structurally, in the near future to prevent further damage to the interior of the Meeting House. The subject of extensive community conversation, the roof project will utilize a new generation of materials and should remain viable for decades.

Frank Lloyd Wright Original Roof Section

Frank Lloyd Wright Original Roof Section

An original copper roof tile from the Shorewood Hills, Wisconsin Unitarian Church designed by Frank Lloyd Wright (with the assistance of one of its members and the son of two of its founders) and built by Marshall Erdman in 1949-51. The original roof has since been replaced. The portion designed to be visible still shows the original green coloration — presumably applied to make the roof show a look similar to that which often develops on exposed copper over time. The church building is recognized as one of the most innovative examples of church architecture. In 1960, the American Institute of Architects designated it one of 17 buildings to be retained as an example of Wright’s contribution to American culture. The Meeting House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, before the traditional 50-year cutoff for historic buildings. In 2004, it was designated a National Historic Landmark by the National Park Service. This roof section measures approximately 17 inches by 17 inches (excluding the portions of each side bent so that the roof tiles could be interlocked). And provides an opportunity to obtain an original piece of a highly notable building designed by one of America’s foremost Architects.
