The horizontal lines of this 1918 home show the influence of Frank Lloyd Wright on architect Edward Sporl, who designed it for banana magnate Salvador D’Antoni.

Albert Ledner, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, designed the “Ashtray House,” a mid-century modernist home on Park Island in New Orleans. Ashtrays adorn the exterior and interior of the home, built for a couple who smoked.



Below is the home that Ledner designed for his family:

Leonard Spangenberg, also a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, designed the Unity Temple on St. Charles Avenue.

Spangenberg also designed the ill-fated Plaza Tower in the Central Business District. The structure has sustained heavy damage due to years of vacancy. The upper portion of the tower has been netted to prevent pieces from falling during strong winds.

Very exciting to see these photographs and to celebrate the ubiquitous presence of Wright. I look for him everywhere and often find him!
