Frank Lloyd Wright & The Great Depression: How The Best Architect Created His Masterpiece in Turmoil
Nobody blossomed late in life like Frank Lloyd Wright. He was written off as a has-been by middle age after a promising start. Between 1909 and 1929, Wright’s career was marked by personal turmoil and a roller coaster of career-related ups and downs. In these years, before he completed the buildings, we know him for today, Wright’s career was so far gone that most critics had written him off as a product of the 19th century.
But to everyone’s surprise, after the Great Depression, Wright, now in his seventies, emerged from total career chaos to create one of America’s greatest icons. From this time forward, his career surged, so much so that one third of all his buildings were constructed during the last 20 years of his life.
An oft-overlooked aspect of his life is that the Great Depression played a key role in Wright's resurgence. The Depression disrupted the practice of architecture substantially, to the extent that most architects of the 1920s simply closed up shop. Unwilling to give up, Wright instead figured out ways to practice architecture during the Depression without building any buildings. And, the choices he made during this period gave rise directly to the American icon, Fallingwater. In the end, Wright stands alone as the only “big name” architect to survive the Depression years.
Today’s guest is Catherine Zipf, author of “Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater: American Architecture in the Depression Era.” We explore Wright's career at its lowest moment, the years of the Great Depression, before his comeback as America's greatest architect.

Was Union Support in the Confederacy Widespread? The Alabamans Who Fought for Sherman Say 'Yes'
มุมมอง 2.6K7 หลายเดือนก่อน
As the popular narrative goes, the Civil War was won when courageous Yankees triumphed over the South. But an aspect of the war that has remained little-known for 160 years is the Alabamian Union soldiers who played a decisive role in the Civil War, only to be scrubbed from the history books. One such group was the First Alabama Calvary, formed in 1862. It went on raids that destroyed Confedera...
A WW2 Polish Diplomat Forged Thousands of Paraguayan Passports to Save Holocaust Victims

Between 1940 and 1943, Polish diplomats based in Bern, Switzerland, engaged in a remarkable - and until now, almost completely untold - humanitarian operation. This operation was one of the largest actions to aid Jews of the entire war and far eclipsed the better-known efforts of Oskar Schindler. In concert with two Jewish activists, these diplomats masterminded a systematic program of forging ...

He was perhaps the most famous early twent...

    I found this to be a fascinating discussion of F. Scott Fitzgerald and the parallels between his life and his art. I was always captivated by the Roaring 20s era in US history because of the way in which we saw what was perceived as a joyous time period that had, as its difficult and challenging bookends, the First World War and the Great Depression. It was a time of living fast and loose, and it certainly had its highly identifiable and unique fashion, music and lifestyles; it was a time period that stood out amidst both its glitz. and even its challenges to the mores and values of the time as prohibition, and the reaction to it, reared its head. I've always seen Fitzgerald as the consummate commentator on the time period, and I love his work. Though elevated in many ways, there are times when you just have to stop and ponder, absorbing the way he expresses himself in his novels and stories. There are so many instances where you're just taken aback by the beauty in his descriptions and his way with words. My book club recently read A Gentleman in Moscow and, in many ways, I see Towles as writing in much the same way. There is an elegance, and power in his writing, while there is also a simplicity that can also be juxtaposed with depth. A great discussion here.

    I'm so curious about the suspicion he supposedly aroused on the ship. It makes little sense it was to do with his arm. In 1912 people with disabilities were much more common to see. Without modern medicine we would be seeing many more people with congenital deformities, amputated limbs, scoliosis, scarring, and on and on. My grandfather was born in late 1880s with a withered arm. I guarantee it never aroused suspicion. Curiosity perhaps, but people were as considerate as today (even though it seems some today believe compassion was invented by them😮) In fact, good manners were more non negotiable then than now. Anyway, I wonder if Mr Dan was talking a good talk and accidentally went a little too far? I seriously would love to know that part of his story, and a great one it is. I'm really enjoying this series. Thank you!

    I found a female ancestor listed as a "deported gypsy" from a women's prison in France. The King of France wanted to rid France of all Gypsies and had the women jailed, the men hanged, and the children sent to work camps. She was sent from France to Louisiana around that time frame and wound up in the Red River area. I have direct ancestry to a 13yo "Casket Girl" sent to Nola, and a "Fille du Roi" sent to Canada as well. All of these women were sent to a strange new land as literal breeding stock.

    William Miller had the right year but the wrong spiritual grouping regarding 1844. The 2300 days calculation of the Book of Daniel was fulfilled in Shia Islam with the Bab (1819-1850) and Baha'u'llah (1817-1892). You need to have this all figured out by July of 2042 and be ready for a massive coming sea change in the World using the Planetary communication of the Internet. You need to find out what happened in Cupertino, CA back in 1969 via events in 1863 regarding Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak leading to how you are able to currently communicate globally at the speed of light using npn and pnp MOSFET CPU, UART, and USART technology. Good luck in your investigations to get up to speed in the Nuclear Age.

    The mason dixon is nothing more than a political boundary. Most cultural sociologists like Zelinsky and Glassie among others almost always included the lower portions of Indiana Ohio n Illinois as part of the “upland south” region. Therefore the number of southern unionists is likely WAY higher than u might think. 100,000 white southerners plus 200,000 black southerners from confederacy alone plus thousands of southerners from Kentucky, Missouri, West Virginia, and Maryland; not to mention parts of Indiana , Ohio, and Illinois. The lost cause propaganda is the reason u see confederate flags all across “the south” including the “Yankee areas”

    I am very interested in the prounionism in the South during the Civil War. The North Georgia had also prounism in the montanouse region, but it was less than in North Alabama so the North Georgian prounists got many capital punishment and murders. The North Alabama people could protect themselves better. North Georgian could go to join the USA Army in East Tennessee after Burnside liberated East Tennessee only.

Here this part of Alabama had lower % slave populated counties too as Covington 12.7% slaves, Coffee 14.7% slaves, Dale 14.8% slaves. Ozark region in Arkansas had many prounionista with low % slave population.
