The darkest chapter in Frank Lloyd Wright's life

On August 15, 1914, the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright was working on a project in Chicago, when he suddenly received a piece of news. His beautiful house which he had designed and built in Wisconsin had been burned down. Imagine getting that news that your home, which you built and designed, is up in flames. He was devastated ofcourse, but the thing was he had not received the most important news by that time. That his home wasn’t just burnt, that 7 people were also murdered in that very house.
This is a story about Love & betrayal, a story about architecture & a story of a scandal, this is the story of the massacre at the Taliesin.

Oh my god!
Hats off to your research, editing and storytelling.
This video was so terrifying that i stopped doing my work to see this.

Your storytelling was so strong that i was so indulged, even after the video is over, i am thinking about what happened that day.

You aren't limited to the audience from architecture background.
This channel is growing beyond that.

Apart from this, i never knew that Frank Lloyd wright had such a disturbing love life. And even after all these incidents, he kept on working and creating master pieces.

And the spirit to rebuild the house three times. Oh god!

Really appreciate the amount of hardwork you put for the research. Thank you!

I knew this story because I have been to both Taliesin locations and several of Wright's homes and buildings. I am fascinated by his work, he was a pioneer of architecture and design but he was also an arrogant man with a very unconventional lifestyle. You did a great job with your research and explanation of this tragedy.

Gosh! This could be a thriller movie about an Architect, you shared the story in such a beautiful way, Rishabh. Congrats✨🤍

[biway]

i did NOT know about this and the fact that my undergrad thesis was solely focused on organic architecture and FLW💀 and even put taliesin and some of his praire style works as design inspiration… i’m glad the jurors didn’t know about this too lol

[manasviwade]

As someone who likes listening to True Crime Podcasts and as someone who is also an Architecture student, this content looks like its customised for me lol.... Its really sad and horrible that such events happened here.. I really liked the way you presented this video... Right from the photographs to representing the names of people who died to the 3D explanation of the house.. Great content 👍🏻 Hoping to see more such videos
Goodluck:)

Wow, this video was so fun to watch! Now I finally understand why Taliesin west was one of the prominent works of FLW.

[stuglenn]

I wonder how hard Wright himself was looked at for being behind the murders.
