Collected papers, mainly 1930-1993, of John Howe, an architect associated with Frank
Lloyd Wright in the Taliesin Fellowship, primarily concerning Wright. In the collection are
books, articles, and other printed materials about Wright's career and reputation;
additional writings and publications by Wright himself (some annotated and inscribed)
including manuscript copies of Ausgeführte Bauten (the
“Wasmuth Portfolio”) and When Democracy Builds,
and articles that appeared in the Capital Times (Madison,
Wisconsin); additional newspaper clippings on microfilm; exhibit catalogs; memorabilia; and
Taliesin publications. Howe's library, which is part of the collection, includes many rare
first editions and Japanese editions of several books written by Wright. In addition, there
are published drawings, prints, and reproductions, and sound recordings. Among the prominent
correspondents are William T. Evjue, Herb Fritz, Olgivanna Wright, and a small amount from
Frank Lloyd Wright. A few items document Howe's supervision of the construction of the
Mossberg House and his role in the management of Taliesin Associates after Wright's
death.
There is a restriction on access to part of this material; see the
Administrative/Restriction Information portion of this finding aid for details.
