1911
After Wright's return to the United States in late 1910, Wright persuaded his
mother to purchase land for him in Spring Green, Wisconsin. The land,
purchased on April 10, 1911, was adjacent to land held by his mother's
family, the Lloyd-Joneses. Wright began to build himself a new home, which
he called Taliesin, by May of 1911.
Taliesin in Spring Green, Wisconsin was the summer home of American
architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright began the home in 1911 after leaving
his first wife, Catherine Tobin, and his Oak Park, Illinois home and studio in
1909.

Taliesin West was architect Frank Lloyd Wright's winter home and school in
the desert from 1937 until his death in 1959 at the age of 91. Today, it
houses the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, a school for architects, and is
open to the public for tours. It is located on Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard in
Scottsdale, Arizona in the United States.
