Pandemic tourism: Take virtual tours of 12 Frank Lloyd Wright buildings

The #WrightVirtualVisits initiative is a social media collaboration between the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy, the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, and Unity Temple Restoration Foundation. Over the coming weeks, every Thursday at 12 pm CST, these Wright organizations will be posting to their Instagram accounts short-segment tours of a different Wright-designed house.

So, you'll get the tours in snippets, which you'll be able to see collected all together via the #WrightVirtualVisits Instagram link. One especially cool part of this is that some of the videos will show areas of the buildings you wouldn't normally get to see as part of an in-person tour.

We're excited to share with you a virtual tour of The Frank Lloyd Wright House in Ebsworth Park as part of a social media initiative in partnership with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and Frank Lloyd Wright's Unity Temple Restoration Foundation. Each week we'll share a video tour of another site, highlighting the importance of preserving these landmarks. The Ebsworth Park home is "notable not only for its architectural integrity, but for retaining its original Wright-designed furnishings and fabrics. With a floor plan composed of two intersecting parallelograms, it is considered one of Wright's most geometrically complex homes. The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its significance in American architecture." – – – – – @flw_ebsworthpark @wrighttaliesin @flwunitytemple #WrightVirtualVisits #preservingwhatswright #franklloydwright #flw #usonian #wrightsites #ebsworthpark #missouri #virtualtour #stayhomesavelives #inthistogether #shelterinplace
