Taliesin Exterior

This is the tower located behind the main house. I believe our tour guide (Bryan) said these were now guestrooms although part of this complex used to house chickens. Remember, Taliesin was a working farm.

As we hiked up the hill I took this shot looking towards the "birdwalk" that juts out over the hill.

This photograph was taken from the center of the complex looking over the roofs of the main house. The garden where we had refreshments is located to the right near the master bedroom.

The birdwalk (below) is quite long and standing at the end provides a nice view of the house. The living room is to the right and the guestroom is to the left. Notice that the window to the immediate right of the birdwalk looking towards the house is a normal clear glass window.

Many photographs show this as an artglass window saved from the Heath House (S.105). According to our guide, the Taliesin Preservation Commission has been returning the house to its state when Wright was living so these windows have been removed to the interior of the house. As explained to us, the purpose of the artglass was to shield the interior from the exterior. That would not have been consistent with Wright's wishes at Taliesin.

The guestroom is to the immediate left of the birdwalk, and the master bedroom is further down towards the left end of the house.
