Have you ever wondered what it would be like to gaze over the shoulder of genius architect Frank Lloyd Wright as he worked on one of his famous drawings?

Seated in his office — meticulously reassembled in Erie, PA with all the sights, sounds and even smells of his San Francisco Field Office in the 1960s — Wright glances up at visitors while pondering over his drawing of the Horace B. Sturtevant House in Oakland, California.

Pictures don't do the experience justice! Come open a door into the past and absorb the 1960s vibes. Listen for the different sounds of a busy architectural firm, stand at the drafting tables to examine works in progress, and breathe in the lingering scent of the handcrafted woodwork that brings this extraordinary space to life.
