Tallahassee is the location of the only Florida residence designed and built by Frank Lloyd Wright. The home was designed and built for George Lewis II, his wife Clifton Van Brunt Lewis, and their four children - George Edward, Van, Byrd, and Ben. She and George worked for more than thirty years together, at different times with different institutions and people, to turn their dream of having Spring House become a teaching institute for use by FSU, FAMU, TCC, UF and other interested organizations into a reality. Clifton started the non-profit, tax-deductible Spring House Institute after George's death in 1996, and is working to raise money to restore and finish Spring House for use as the institute, which remains their goal. Today, I took my drawing class to Spring House for some pre-spring break inspiration.
