Note:
Taliesin was the estate of American architect Frank Lloyd Wright and located south of the village of Spring Green, Wisconsin, United States. The 600-acre (240 ha) property was developed on land that originally belonged to Wright's maternal family and is sometimes referred to as Taliesin East, Taliesin Spring Green or Taliesin North after 1937.
Two years after Wright left his first wife and home in Oak Park, Illinois with a mistress, he designed the Taliesin structure.
