Frank Lloyd Wright and His Influence on Florida Architecture: A Presentation by Dr. Wayne Wood

OUR PROGRAM
Frank Lloyd Wright is considered by many to be America’s greatest architect. Although most of his buildings were constructed in the American Midwest, many Floridians are surprised to learn of his vast work and influence on the state, boasting the Prairies-style buildings east of Illinois. This entertaining program gives the audience an in-depth understanding of this remarkable part of Florida’s architectural history.
Join us Tuesday, April 22, 2025 at 6 PM at the Scottish Rite Masonic Center (965 Hubbard Street) for this Florida Talks presentation by Dr. Wayne Wood. Tour of the Scottish Rite to follow programming.
Admission is FREE. Advance registration is requested here: www.sparcouncil.org/wayne_wood_2025
