The Frank Lloyd Wright House in Ebsworth Park and the Missouri History Museum are pleased to present the St. Louis premiere of the new documentary, Romanza: The California Buildings of Frank Lloyd Wright.
 
Romanza, the third Frank Lloyd Wright documentary from filmmaker Michael Miner, is the story of Wright’s relationship with the Golden State. Wright designed more than 80 projects for California and saw more than 25 built. The buildings were grand and modest, public and private, and came from each major era of Wright’s seven-decade career.
 
With unprecedented access to every California Wright building, Romanza journeys all over the state, from the Los Angeles textile block houses famous for their appearances in Hollywood films, to Wright’s only San Francisco commission, which he designed as a “glass of champagne,” from the cinder block homes of the San Joaquin valley, to the “ship’s prow” home on the beach of Carmel Bay, from Wright’s contentious relationship with oil heiress Aline Barnsdall, to perhaps the most charming of all Frank Lloyd Wright stories, the design for a doghouse in response to a letter from a 12 year-old boy.
 
Filmmaker Michael Miner will answer questions following the screening.
 
A replica of the dog house will be on display.
 
Details about advance ticket sales will follow.
