SO glad this important piece of Phoenix history is finally being shared with the City.
Phoenix residents - We do have history here. Important things have been done here, and there are permanent reminders all around us of them. If we remove the permanent reminders, or worse yet ignore them, it makes it hard to remember the amazing things that have been done in Phoenix. That is why so many people think we have no culture here. Of course we have culture - a long history of it - but how do you know it is/was there if you get rid of the permanent reminders of it? How do you know our history if you don't go see these places and learn about what happened there? My gosh, to think that we have our own Falling Water that was in our midst all this time and we didn't know it, just boggles my mind.
If you have ever scoffed about Phoenix "culture", or have an interest in our history, start by seeing the David and Gladys Wright House. It's a beautiful piece of architectural design, an amazing piece of engineering, and an important piece of our rich history.
I recently visited the house and learned so much from the docents there. They make it interesting by engaging with each visitor and trust me they will share some piece of information with you that you will find fascinating. This is no boring museum trip.
