My father knew Frank Lloyd Wright personally and worked with him on his pre-fabricated homes. My father gave me this brochure many decades ago. He was in the redwood business in the mid-1950s, working for Simpson Timber Company of Eureka, California. My grandfather was the President of Simpson Timber Company. My father met with Frank Lloyd Wright in Chicago in 1955 and convinced him to use redwood battens in his pre-fabricated homes. Redwood, as you may know, is 6/7ths water and virtually fireproof. Around this time, my father also threw a cocktail party for Frank Lloyd Wright at the Chicago Club or the CAA, the Chicago Athletic Association. This party was documented in an issue of LOOK Magazine in the late 1950s. Eleven pre-fabricated houses in total were built. Offering in VERY GOOD CONDITION this oversize 8-page brochure on thick coated stock advertising three different FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT designed PRE-FABRICATED HOMES. Please see close-up pictures for details. What you see is what you get. Dimensions are approximately 9 1/2 inches x 12 1/2 inches. EXTREMELY RARE and ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND. By spring of 1956 Wright had final plans for three Usonian-type homes to be built exclusively by ME&A. Eleven homes in total were built. Nine examples of Prefab #1 were built. Two examples of Prefab #2 were built. No examples of Prefab #3 were ever built. The prefab package Erdman offered included all the major structural components, interior and exterior walls, floors, windows and doors, as well as cabinets and woodwork. Wright also intended to inspect each home after completion, and to apply his famous glazed red signature brick to the home if it had been completed as planned.

This is an Ultra Rare model of the Frank Lloyd Wright Mile High Building. Designed as a future skyscraper in Chicago, this building was to have more than 300 floors and stand over 1 mile in height! Architect Jon Bell of Bell Models only made 4 of these. The largest one is located in the Milwaukee Art Museum off of Lake Michigan. The model shows all of the scaled cars next to the plaza of the building. The Tower was made in 1 inch equals 100 feet and stands 54 inches tall. The Tower is made of architectural grade wood and coated in a bronze finish. Own a piece of history from the late Jon Bell. He also made the smaller 11 inch models that many other collectors know of. Building will be packed very well and insured for its full value. The 1 inch =100 feet Twin Towers and the new World TRADE CENTER are not part of the sale but are there to show just how big the Tower is in real life. This is definitely a collectible.
