“A Magnificent Adventure”
Frank Lloyd Wright's Smith House is located in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. It was designed in 1946 for Melvyn Maxwell Smith and Sarah Smith. Melvyn Smith was a high school social studies teacher. Sarah Smith, now retired, was an elementary school teacher. Melvyn Smith first learned about Frank Lloyd Wright's work in an art and architecture survey course he took when he was a student at Wayne State University in Detroit. The Smiths visited Taliesin for the first time during a vacation trip in 1941. At Taliesin, they discussed with Wright the possibility of his designing a house for them. The outbreak of World War II forced postponement of any further discussions until Melvyn Smith's return from the service in 1946. This interview is an edited version of John Donoian's research project for a seminar devoted to Frank Lloyd Wright and taught by Dennis Doordan at Tulane University.
