FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT JR.
aka LLOYD WRIGHT (1890-1978)
Lloyd Wright was the eldest son of Frank Lloyd Wright and his first wife, Catherine Lee (Kitty) Tobin, and grew up in the 1889 Wright home and studio in Oak Park IL. Lloyd briefly attended the University of Wisconsin in Madison before leaving for a job at the landscape architecture firm of the Olmsted Brothers in Boston. Specializing in botany and horticulture, he continued to pursue landscape design in addition to architecture throughout his life.
He settled in southern California around 1911. The Olmsteds sent him to assist with landscape design of the 1915 Panama-California Exposition in San Diego with architects Irving Gill, Bertram Goodhue, and Carleton Winslow. The exposition's principal buildings and gardens still remain in Balboa Park, and Gill became his mentor.
Beginning in 1919, Lloyd Wright's famous father, working in Japan on the Imperial Hotel, delegated responsibilities for the Hollyhock House in Los Angeles to Lloyd and Rudolf Schindler. Lloyd also worked on the Millard House, the Storer House, the Freeman House, and the Ennis house for his father, plus the second and third band shells at the Hollywood Bowl. The third shell stood until the end of the 2003 season.
The largest collection of Lloyd Wright buildings in the United States was built between 1946 and 1957 for the Institute of Mentalphysics near Joshua Tree CA. Throughout his life, his work was constantly overshadowed and compared to his father's, which is unfortunate as Lloyd's work easily stands on its own. Had he been just a student of FLW, rather than his son, Lloyd's fame would have been significantly greater.
Lloyd Wright designed many different styles of homes in addition to Modernist; they are included here as well. He was, much more than his father, well-patronized by Hollywood, which found him more approachable, less demanding, and less expensive. His archives are at UCLA Special Collections. Architect Eric Lloyd Wright was the son of Lloyd Wright and his second wife, Helen. Many thanks to Catherine Westergaard Cramer for research.
