This exhibition places some of St. Louis’ most celebrated works of modern architecture, including the Frank Lloyd Wright House in Ebsworth Park, within the context of the mid-twentieth century development – a remarkably destructive, creative, dynamic, and conflicted time in our region’s architectural and urban history.
