Hi John,
Ask about Wright at the Architetical Society in Chicago. They have a
lot of information about him, since he built many buildings in Chicago.

I heard a rumor that Wright was not permitted to build in New York when
he was a young architect (probably the beaurocracy of codes,etc.)
Anyway, eventually he got famous and was commissioned to do the
Guggenheim. It was (at the time) a controversial design which was
perceived as being ugly by many and was dubbed "Wright's Revenge" for
the earlier snub.
Anyone out there know if this is true or just a wondeful urban legend?
