Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright furniture and buildings are of great interest to  collectors and art enthusiasts, but who would guess he once designed a  doghouse? A boy living in a Wright-designed house in California wrote to  Wright in 1956 to ask if he would design a doghouse to go with the  house. Wright sent drawings for a triangular doghouse that complemented  the hexagonal main house. The doghouse was built in 1963 and taken apart  in 1973, but it was just rebuilt for a Wright documentary. The newly  rebuilt house fixed the old problem of a leaky roof. The new house may  not have much value to a collector, but the letters and Wright’s plans  could bring a good price.
