Frank Lloyd Wright's grandson Eric Llloyd Wright passes away aged 93

The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation has shared news of the passing of Wright’s grandson Eric Lloyd Wright last month at the age of 93. Wright, who was the only child of Frank Lloyd Wright Jr., designed homes and religious projects in California, Pennsylvania, the American Midwest and Finland.  He was an apprentice for his grandfather at Taliesin until being drafted into service in the Korean War in 1952. Wright returned to Los Angeles in 1956 to work for his father’s studio but did not earn an architectural license until 1967, according to his biography on the Foundation’s Memoriam.  It was in Malibu in 1978 that Wright began his own practice, Eric Lloyd Wright & Associates Architecture & Planning. From there, his firm went on to become a fixture in the myriad restoration projects of his father and grandfather’s original designs, including the Ennis House, South Carolina’s Auldbrass Plantation, and the Storer House in Los Angeles.  The Ennis House.
