Loving Frank Excerpt

To announce the care free atmosphere of the space within, Frank had stationed statues of some sprites on either side of the main entrance, their heads bent down.  They seemed to wink at Mamah as she passed through the entry.  - 
Horan, Nancy Loving Frank page 318

Loving Frank Excerpt

"Frank had fused what he'd experienced and seen into something entirely new: a waking fantasy." Horan page 319








A sophisticated adult playground built on the city's South Side in 1914 and razed just 15 years later, Midway Gardens represented a carefully arranged marriage of modern architectural design and old-world tradition. A distinctly American translation of the German concert garden, the elaborately decorated brick-and-concrete fantasyland included an indoor restaurant and dance hall; multi-tiered, outdoor summer garden and band shell; tavern; and private club. It was the toast of the town during its first two seasons, according to University of Illinois architectural historian Paul Kruty, who has resurrected the structure in his new book ìFrank Lloyd Wright and Midway Gardensî (U. of I. Press).
