A destroyed masterpiece of Agoikagos designed by the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright architect has landed in an observational list of dangerous buildings in the windy city and guarding is sounding the alarm.
JJ Walser Jr. The house, a rare relic of the Prairie style, located in the Austin neighborhood, is one of the only five surviving Wright models in its kind in Agoikago and is becoming at the edge of the collapse after years of neglect.
Spring Spring, people in preserving Chicagos throw their list of Chicago 7, the attention of the city’s most endangered architectural treasures, which include this property.
“The Walser House had been on our list of buildings for several years,” Ward Miller, Executive Director of the Group, Artnet News told.
“The vacancy of the building, along with visual internal inspection of the building and noticing both water damage and vandalism, lead us to make this an effort and urgent advocacy.”
This architectural stunner was deleted in 1903 for the printing of Bigwig Joseph Jacob Walser, at Wright’s costs holding low at $ 4,000 – about $ 150,000 in today’s figures.
Its design includes wide eyelids, a breeze layout, custom furniture and yellow art glass windows. But now, the place is the discovery. The last owners, Anne and Hurley Teague, received it in 1970.
Hurley, a contractor, works diligently to keep him standing until he died 1997. Anne followed in 2019, and since then, the house has remained rot, defeated by the brutal weather of the Agoikagos Registrar.
“The house has been indecent and not maintained for the last six years,” says the Agoikago storage website.
Even with some patchwork adjustments and brushes cleaning from well done, the whole property is screaming for a top-down adjustment.
“Parto part of this house needs attention,” the conservation of the construction of Frank Lloyd Wright on its website added, demanding that someone sink, to shore and return it to life.
A reference point in Chicikago in 1981 and added to the national register of historic sites in 2013, the house cannot be destroyed – but that does not mean it is safe from demolition.
An opposite mortgage from 2003 and the constant foreclosure fighting are destroying works, according to Austin Weekly News.
“This should happen quickly,” Miller Artnet told. “The house is very sensitive to environmental conditions and also to people who violate and enter the property.”
With advocacy crews such as storage of chicikagos and conservation holding tabs, they are pressuring a lot to speed up the legal mess.
A new owner can be included in federal and state tax deductions to finance the regulation, but the clock records.
“Its long owners tried their good to maintain the home, despite the costs related to some of the needs and demands of variety, as they continued to grow old,” Miller Architecture Digest told Miller.
“We need the community to express their support for this amazing home and to be a partner in its restoration, repair and revival.”
He is also praying with the city hall to help finance the revival of Wright’s vision before it is late.
