Avery Coonley Residence (1907)Riverside, Illinois (S.135)
Visited December 3, 1999Lasted edited on October 03, 2005 

The Metropolitan Museum in New York has three windows from the Coonley Playhouse. As stated by Thomas A. Heinz in his Frank Lloyd Wright: Glass Art book: "The playful, random quality of the positions of the lines and flashed glass is among the finest examples of abstract art by any artist."

Coonley playroom stained glass.

Unfortunately, I only had a low-resolution digital camera with me and flash was not permitted in the museum. I'm taking a photography course and am planning to upgrade to a better camera soon....

The museum also has an exhibit of the living room from the Francis W. Little Residence.
