Architect Frank Lloyd Wright Dies At 89
PHOENIX, Ariz.. April 9 (AP)
Colorful Frank Lloyd Wright, 89,
master architect who fashioned a
world 'reputation for brilliant design, died In a Phoenix hospital
Wednesday.
Known as the "rebellious old
gentleman"
of his profession,
Wright entered the hospital last
Saturday and underwent surgery
Monday for removal of an Intestinal obstruction.
He appeared to rest comfortably
last night and physicians felt he
was holding his own up to an hour
before his death.
"He Just sighed and died." said

Mrs. Jessie Baganno, nurse who
was with him.
Wright was the center of con
troversy throughout his professional life. Many of his designs were

the art and the profession of architecture."
"The only thing wrong with
architecture is architects," he once
said.
Wright called cities "vampires . .
sterilizing humanity" and apartments "sanitary slums."
He once wondered why "so unethical an act" as a skyscraper
could be allowed to exist. But In
1956 he proposed to build a 510-story, mile-hig- h
skyscraper on the
Chicago Lake front.
Wright's open warfare with convention attracted the young to him
;

and he established the Frank Lloyd
Wright Foundation to instruct hlj
followers at Tallesln East, Spring
Green, Wis., and Tallesln West
near Phoenix.
Wright's personal life was mark
ed by three marriages. His first,

died March 24 at Santa Barbara,
Calif., produced six children before ending in divorce.
He then married Miriam Noel, a
mature woman with three grown
children. She died shortly after

their divorce.
