FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT HOUSE
IN EBSWORTH PARK BENEFIT
Remarkable Reminders: Architectural Fragments
Date: Sunday, June 2, 2013 — 2:00-5:00 p.m.
Location: (Future) National Building Arts Center
 
We are honoring Frank Lloyd Wright’s 146th birthday at a very special venue that shares our deep commitment to architectural preservation. Remarkable Reminders: Architectural Fragments will be held at the future National Building Arts Center, located just minutes southeast of downtown St. Louis in Sauget, Illinois. This amazing site houses the largest private collection of architectural artifacts in the country.
 
A wonderful afternoon of festivities is planned. We will explore the vast treasure trove of artifacts that Museum Director Larry Giles has salvaged for more than 40 years.
 
The St. Louis Building Arts Foundation is restoring the former Sterling Steel Casting Foundry, a 13-building facility, to become the future home of the National Building Arts Center. Its collections include more than 300,000 beautiful building fragments — ornamental brick, terra cotta, metalwork, stone, hardware and more — saved from significant St. Louis landmarks and from buildings around the country.
 
The event will include delicious party fare topped off with gelato and birthday cake in honor of Mr. Wright’s birthday. Guests will enjoy listening to the spirited early jazz and swing music performed by Miss Jubilee and the Humdingers.
 
Individual tickets cost $125. All proceeds support the preservation and projects of the The Frank Lloyd Wright House in Ebsworth Park.
